Thumper said :if you use your truck bed to haul lumber, 4-wheeler, hay, anything like that you'll want to cuss those mounting rails for the 5th wheel hitch. they get in the way of sliding things into the bed like 2x4's and what not.
Do not agree with that at all. I simply put 4 stickers down under a sheet of OSB and away you go. I haul wood and tools all day long and I haven`t missed the 2 in. I lost. my .002

I'm fine with the bed rails staying in the truck bed. I mean I actually have 3 trucks. A 1995 1500 silverado, A 2003 F250 5.4L 4X4 gasser, and now this 1995 F350 dually 7.3L turbo diesel.

I just want this one to be my camper hauler....
