Expert Reply:

For your 2012 Ford F-350 with 8 foot bed and factory pucks, the Curt 5th Wheel Round Tube Slider for Ford Super Duty Towing Prep Package - 12" Travel # C16020 will fit, but a slider is not required for your 8 foot bed. It won't hurt when used correctly, but it isn't required. It will reduce your towing capacity to 24K max.

Your photo showed the Curt OEM 5th-Wheel Hitch Legs # C16017 which is what is recommended for your 8 foot bed. That combination will give you the Curt A25 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch for Ford Towing Prep Package - Dual Jaw - 24,000 lbs # C16036.

You may also want to consider adding the wiring harness # 50-97-410 to add a second 7-way to the bed of your truck for easy connection and access.
