I am looking at a truck that already has the hitch rails in it the Question is are all hitches the same size how they mount in the slots on the rails. I have a 15k super glide we are going to look at the truck monday to try and buy it?

Not all interchange, but many do. First thing to check is that the rail centers are 22" apart, or more precisely 21-15/16" apart.

The Pullrite hitch is a little different than most of the others. Reese, Valley, Husky and possibly others all mount on the same rails.

There should be a kit for the Pullrite Super Slider if it is an auto slider.

It probably has more to do with the positioning of the rails when they were installed on the truck than anything else. If they're too far off from the standard, maybe some hitches just won't quite fit. I think most, if not all, rail-mount hitches are designed to fit standard rail hole spacing (determined by the punch press manufacturing of the rails) and standard installation spacing width between the rails.
