It sounds like you have the OEM pucks on your 2012 Ford F-450. If this is the case then I recommend using the safety chain loops # RP58468 which I confirmed with my contact at Reese will work with the Reese Safety Chain Kit # RP49151 for your Goose Box.

If you don't already have a gooseneck ball then I recommend going with the kit # RP30137 instead which comes with the hitch ball, safety chain loops, a storage bag, and a cover for the center puck location.

We do have just the safety chain loops for the Ford factory fifth wheel rail kits like you have. For that you'd want the part #RP58468 and you'd be set.
