Expert Reply:

I do have a solution for you to tow a gooseneck trailer with your 1976 Ford F-350 but unfortunately there are no gooseneck hitch fits for your pickup.

Instead what you need to do is install the Universal Base Rail and Bracket Kit # RP30035 and then use the Curt 25K Gooseneck Plate # 16055 for the gooseneck hitch ball.

If you already have a 7-Way wiring connector like the Tow Ready # 20024 then I also recommend installing the Bargman # 50-97-410 so that you have a 7-Way connector in your truck bed as well to make connecting your gooseneck trailer wiring much easier. This simply tees into the US CAR Connection that you have when you unplug your current 7-Way from behind.

I have attached some review videos and written instructions that you can also reference.
