Question:
My truck already has a below the bed B and W gooseneck hitch, will these fifth wheel brackets still fit my truck frame?

Hey Frank, happy to help!
On a 2006 Dodge Ram, the Curt A16 # C65JV brackets are designed to use existing holes in the truck's frame. Whether they'll work with your B&W gooseneck hitch depends on which B&W model you have installed, since some of the B&W brackets can use the same mounting locations as the Curt A16 brackets.
If your truck has a B&W Turnoverball gooseneck hitch, there may be a better option available that is specifically designed to work with the existing B&W system.
What B&W Gooseneck model do you currently have? Is our pickup a 1500, 2500 or 3500? Is your bed length 6-1/2' or 8' bed?
