Yes you can use the head from your B&W Companion 20K slider part # BWRVK3400-5W with the
Replacement Base for B&W Companion OEM 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch for Ford Super Duty part # BWRVB3300 to transfer the hitch to your 2019 Ford F-350 Super Duty with OEM prep puck system and an 8 foot bed.

If the truck has a short bed you will need the Replacement Slider Base for B&W OEM 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch - Ford Towing Prep Package part # BWRVB3370 instead.

With a 2022 F350 short bed, hitting the top of the bed rails should not be an issue with most campers. Turning clearance however, will certainly be a factor. That is one advantage of the Andersen Ultimate hitch #AM3200, as it provides a 9"…
