Goosneck Ball

Ok, I had the salesman send me some pics. The gooseneck ball is a BW Turnoverball. The brackets that comes with it mount into existing frame holes, so nothing was drilled. Basically all I have to do is remove it, find a 4" hole plug and install ISR rails and drop my pullrite in. Now comes the fun part of haggling over price with the dealer! Thanks everyone and have a Merry Christmas!

What kind of gooseneck does it have in it now?

There are many minimum-drill options on the market for both 5th wheel and gooseneck hitches. The only holes that need to be drilled are in the sheet metal of the truck bed. All frame connections are using existing holes in the frame.

Then there is the Andersen "Ultimate" Fifth Wheel that connects to your existing gooseneck ball. It's a little different from the typical 5th wheel: It puts a raised gooseneck ball in your bed, and there is an adapter to install on the kingpin of the trailer.

These Pullrite under-bed brackets do not require drilling of the frame. Looks like it should clear the goose neck ball.
Pullrite brackets.

I know on my Ram there are custom fit rail kits that don't require any new holes to be drilled into the frame - it just uses existing mounting points. I would check out etrailer to see what they have, but I assume you could get something similar for a 2013 Chevy.

No, I'm looking at a 2013 Chevy dually. GeorgeH, could you remove the ball at will?

Years ago, I had both 5th wheel rails and goose neck hitch in older GM dually. Not a problem.

Is this for your 2006 Chevy 2500 D Max?
Some frame rails do not require drilling of frames they clamp around it.

I just bought a pullrite and am partial to that thing...lol Also by looking at the pullrite adapter, I would still need to put rails in the bed.

B&W hitches is one brand that will work.
