The Reese 5th Airborne Premium # RP61412 which is the upgrade to the Sidewinder would be great options to replace an RBW 7028 pin box. Since I wasn't able to find a 7026 option, your pin box is most likely a 7028 but you will want to double check just to make sure if you are able to.
The problem is that you'll have to go with a different fifth wheel hitch as the Demco Hijacker Autoslide cannot be used with a Sidewinder. The Reese # RP30047 would then be a great option for use with the Sidewinder.
