5th wheel hitch

[thz71]

I just got a 2500 and it has the hole cut in the bed for a fifth wheel but no ball or any of the brackets. Do they just bolt on or is it a custom weld on job? and how much should i expect it to cost?

1 Hole?

Sounds more like a gooseneck ball than a 5th wheel hitch foot.

Does it look like this:

They bolt on. You can get a gooneck hitches anywhere from probably $200-$500 and a shop would likely charge anywhere from 3-6 hours install. Maybe less since your holes are already drilled in the bed it sounds like.

B&W makes a good gooseneck hitch we have one on our farm truck

x2. Chances are it was a B&W turnover ball if there is only one round hole. Ask the previous owner what was in there if possible, then get that particular hitch and it'll bolt right in.

I wish my trucks would've already have the holes punched when I bought 'em LOL

not so much as a slang thing,,,lol,, a gooseneck and a fifth wheel are two different types of hitches,, a goose neck has a ball in the bed and a fifth wheel would have something more like a clasp like a big rig,,
