The Reese Base Rails and Installation Kit # RP30035-426 does not have a length it needs to be from the the cab to the edge of the base rails. Instead, as per the linked instructions, there needs to be 29-5/16" inches from the rear edge of your 2014 F-150's truck bed to the rear edge of the base rail.
This will allow you to mount your Curt Sliding Fifth Wheel such as # C95DR, which is a sliding fifth wheel and what you would need if your F-150 had a bed that was less than 8 feet.
