Expert Reply:
The Reese Elite Series Under-Bed Gooseneck Trailer Hitch # RP30138-26 referenced in your question, which is confirmed to fit your 2012 Ford F-350 with the 8 foot bed, can also be used to mount the Reese Elite line of 5th wheel hitches.
For this I recommend the Reese M5 20K # RP30142 or the higher rated # RP30922 that has a 27K towing weight capacity. These are excellent 5th wheel hitches that feature a forged single-piece jaw that completely wraps around the king pin for a secure connection with the trailer and a smooth, quiet ride during travel. Its 9 inch wide funnel (compared to 6 inches on a lot of alternatives) allows you to much more easily guide the king pin into the hitch for hookup.
I have attached a shrot video demonstration that you can check out as well.
