5th Wheel Rails

I bought a used 2500 that has 5th wheels rails already in it. I don't see a brand anywhere on the rails. Previous owner is deceased. Anyway to determine what brand(s) of 5th wheels will mount up to this beast?

Most common would be Reese rails which will accept many hitches beside Resse. Probably won't accept B&W. Try an rv dealer parts guy. They're usually pretty friendly and will give you good info.

Take a picture and post it here, some rails run fore and aft while some run across the box. A picture tells a thousand words!

Describe the rails and someone can probably tell you what will fit them. Give as much information as you can.

The rails run width wise in the bed. The rails are 43"X5.5". The rails are 22" apart (center to center). Each rail has 6 slots that are 1 11/16X .5".
I am trying to determine either what brand these are or what brand(s) of hitches will fit these rails.
Thanks.
