5th wheel prep question

Hey all,

Going to build my truck this week. Don't have a 5th wheel but thinking it might be good to get the 5th wheel prep just in case and for resale. I looked at some trucks at the dealer and they all had the gooseneck hitch too so the holes in the bed were not covered.

If I get only 5th wheel prep will there be caps on the holes? Anybody have just that and can take a picture to show me what the bed will look like?

Thanks

5th wheel prep has 5 holes in the bed including the one in the center for the gooseneck. The missing covers were likely in the cab.

To answer the OP, yes there are plastic plugs that insert into the "pucks". I've got a rubber mat over top of the bed floor so I can't view it without rolling it all back. But if I remember correctly, the plugs insert into pucks, but there will still be a small gap all around the pucks and the bed floor itself.
I bought my truck off the lot. But I think the prep package is relatively inexpensive and will save you headaches if you eventually decide to use it and would be a plus at trade in time. Now that I have it and have used it, I would definitely be looking for it on a used truck if I were ever to shop used.

Get it. It would be silly not to. There are trim rings & plugs for all 5 pucks. Mine were in a plastic bag under the rear seat.

Thanks all. Yeah I'm going to go ahead and get it. Plan on Line-X but was also thinking of a bed mat so all will be good. Like I said we don't plan on a 5th wheel but who knows what we will want down the road.

Here are a couple of pictures. I lost one of the caps when I was shoveling out old plaster from the back of my truck, since the pictures were taken.
