Fifth Wheel Rail Mounted Gooseneck Hitch for 2003 Chevy Silverado
Question:
I recently purchased a 2003 Chevy Silverado already equipped with fifth wheel hitch. The hitch slides into rails in the bed that say Reese. I own three goose neck trailers and would like to find a goose neck hitch that would use my existing fifth wheel rails. Is there something that will work for me?

Expert Reply:
If your existing Reese bed mounted fifth wheel rails have slots in them that are 10 inches apart (center to center, side to side) and 22 inches apart (center to center, front to back), a rail mounted gooseneck ball like part # RP58079 would work great for you.
Using the rail mounted ball would be a simpler solution than the # KPG5-R30IP you referenced, which would require you to use a fifth wheel hitch.
I've provided a diagram showing the measurements I mentioned above, so you can measure your existing rails to ensure they're the same.
