Demco Hijacker Premier Series Above-Bed Base Rails and Custom Installation Kit for 5th Wheel Hitches Item # DM8552031-71 comes with industry standard above the bed rails. These rails have 3 sets of mounting slots for 5th wheel hitches. The outer most set is space 29 inches apart on center. The middle set is space 20-1/2 inches apart on center. And the inner set is spaced 10 inches apart on center. Front to back the slots are spaced 22 inches apart on center.

I am certain that your older Demco 5th wheel hitch will fit the rails included with the installation kit # DM8552031-71 for your 2017 Ford F-350.
