Expert Reply:
If your existing 5th wheel hitch was designed to fit into the factory puck system like the B&W Companion OEM 5th-Wheel Hitch part # BWRVK3300 does then there would not be a way to reuse this hitch on your 2017 Ford F-350 without the factory puck system
Instead, I recommend selling your B&W Companion to recoup some of the money and then using the B&W Patriot 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch part # BWRVK3255 if you have the 8' bed or the B&W Patriot 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch w/ Slider part # BWRVK3270 if you have the 6-3/4' bed. In order to install either of these hitches you would also need a set of base rails specifically designed for your F-350 for which I recommend using part # RP50074-58.
Both of the above 5th wheel hitches have a 18,000 lb towing capacity with the same made in the U.S.A. quality and lifetime warranty as the B&W Companion. I have attached a review video of each hitch for you as well.
