Looking at a used 250 with the B&W gooseneck setup. I know how to remove most of the hardware but is there some neat and simple way to cover the hole in the truck bed?

Anyone else done this?

Yes, you can get plastic hole covers if you remove the B&W.

If it were me, I'd leave it in place and use something like this Demco 5th wheel rail adapter.


It's a little pricey, but you won't have to buy another 5th wheel mounting kit and it will also preserve the gooseneck ball if you ever have a need to pull one of those trailers. If your Pullrite will fit standard rails this will be your cheapest option.

I use the Curt X-Rail which is similar to the Demco . Curt makes 2 versions, one for their round shank and one for the B&W square shank. I pick up the hitch attached to it but I use my tractors front end loader then put the rubber cover on the hole.
