Question:
Thanks for the prompt reply. What is the difference between the Cab-c5g and the c5g1216? Is it just that one is adjustable?

For your Ford F-350 with flatdeck with fold down ball gooseneck, I recommend the Demco Recon Gooseneck-to-5th Wheel Trailer Hitch Adapter # DM8550045. This will give you a 5th wheel hitch that will fit your Seitz pin box. I've attached a video to assist.
There are other adapters available like the Convert-A-Ball Cushioned 5th-Wheel-to-Gooseneck Adapter # CAB-C5G if you prefer to add a gooseneck style adapter to your pin box. Many manufacturers will not warranty the pin box when you use this an adapter like this, but they do function well. I've attached some videos to assist.
A final option if you don't have a recessed gooseneck hitch is to use the Reese Goose Box 5th-Wheel-to-Gooseneck Air Ride Coupler Adapter - Lippert 1716 # RP94716-61301 which I believe will fit. If you give me your bolt measurements I can confirm for you. I've also attached an article to assist. This will give you a gooseneck attachment to your pin box along with the air spring suspension for a smooth ride.
