Center kit containing the receiver socket and turnover ball for a B&W Turnoverball gooseneck hitch. The square-based ball resists rotating in the socket for easier latching, and flips over for a flat, clean truck bed when you're not towing.
The B&W GNRC1252 is the center kit for B&W's Turnoverball gooseneck hitch system, containing the solid, one-piece machined receiver socket and the 2-5/16" turnover ball itself. Unlike typical gooseneck balls with round bases, the Turnoverball's square base resists rotating inside the hitch, making it easier to line up the latch pin.
When you're not towing, the ball flips over so the base sits flush, giving you a flat, usable truck bed. A flexible latch pin handle, attached to a spring-loaded 5/8" locking pin, runs completely through the ball to keep it securely locked in place while towing.

Corrosion-resistant finish for long-term durability
B&W's own product line distinguishes between the Center Kit (GNRC1252 — the receiver socket and ball, sold here) and the separate Mounting Kit (a vehicle-specific part number, such as GNRM1222, containing the frame brackets, cross members, and hardware that bolt to your truck's frame). Both pieces are required for a complete installation and are sold separately — this listing is for the center kit only.
The GNRC1252 center kit is used across several complete Turnoverball hitch kits depending on the vehicle-specific mounting kit it's paired with (for example, GNRM1222 for select applications). It's also compatible with B&W's Companion fifth wheel hitch, which attaches directly to the Turnoverball with no additional parts required. Part Number: GNRC1252 | Ball Diameter: 2-5/16"
