I assume the holes in your bed are for the old fashioned rails, like shown in my pic above. If you put those back in as you are hoping to, the good news is that most hitch brands have a model to fit those. Including Andersen. Rails are still the most versatile mount.
Yes, I am sure they are standard rails. I just got off the Andersen website and see they do have one for standard rails. I had originally just saw their Youtube video with one with a goose neck mount. That is awesome and thanks for the heads up. I may go that route mainly because of the super light weight.
Just a word of caution!!!
You need to be extremely careful using a fixed hitch in a short bed truck!!!
I have read about and seen too many dented cabs and broken rear windows. It only takes a moment of inattention and BANG!
The only real way to be able to really crank sharp is to have the pin location at least 49" back of the cab!!!!
