Can B&W Companion 5th Wheel Hitch BWRVK3500 Be Adapted for Ford OEM Puck System

Question

Question:

Does reese, or anyone else, make a conversion ball, for my pre-installed 2015 f350 fifth wheel hitch, that will allow my current BandW 3500, to mount in the bed, without buying a whole new set up for fifth wheel, or bed mount?

B&W makes a Companion hitch specifically for this other installation, part # BWRVK3300, which drops into the factory pucks.

The height setting will be based on what allows your trailer to be towed level. The forward and back position is for additional trailer overhang to cab clearance. If you need more clearance run the rear positition, if not forward would be fine.
