Thanks for your measurements. I contacted Reese and Lippert and confirmed your measurements with their tech to be a Lippert 1716 5th wheel pin box # LC1324791. I recommend the Reese Goose Box 5th-Wheel-to-Gooseneck Air Ride Coupler Adapter - Lippert 1716 - 20,000 lbs # RP94716-61301 for your 2008 Keystone Montana 3485SA. This will replace your pin box and will provide a cushion with the integrated air bag and dual shock absorber. This will help to limit the strain on your truck and trailer frames.

Hey William, for a Fabex 520 pin box the correct fifth wheel to gooseneck adapter would be the Shocker Hitch part #SHK55MR. This is a really nice cushioned adapter that will work great and also give you a nice and smooth ride quality.
