I assume you are referring to the 3-1/2" diameter hole for the gooseneck hitch ball on the Hide-A-Goose Underbed Gooseneck Trailer Hitch with Installation Kit part # 9460-49. If that is the case then on your 2014 Ford F-250 with the 8' long bed you will need to mark and drill a 1/4" hole 46-3/16" from the rear of the bed and centered between the wheel wells. Using a 3-1/2" diameter hole saw, enlarge the pilot hole to the final diameter hole size.

When you get to the point of drilling the above gooseneck hitch ball hole, you should already have the rails in place so you should have a good amount of assurance that you are in the correct spot. You could always make a rough template of the center section and line it up on the rails to be truly confident you drill correctly the first time. The age old saying of measuring twice and cutting once will also still be relevant.
