We have a solution available for you but unfortunately the Reese Elite Series Underbed Rail Adapter for Standard 5th Wheel Trailer Hitches - 20,000 lbs part # RP30156 is not going to work out for your situation. Instead you want to use one of the following depending on your truck's bed length. For short bed F-350s use Replacement Slider Base for B&W OEM 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch - Ford Towing Prep Package - 20K part # BWRVB3370 or for long bed F-350's Replacement Base for B&W Companion OEM 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch for Ford Super Duty - 25,000 lbs part # BWRVB3305. These will attach to your factory prep package. This will save you some money overall since you will be using your existing head from your old system.
If you don't already have wiring use Bargman 5th Wheel/Gooseneck 90-Degree Wiring Harness for Aluminum Truck Bed - 7 Way RV - 9' Long part # 50-97-410-010 this will give you an in bed socket for your wiring to plug into so your trailers plug isn't hanging over the tailgate when trying to make your connection.
I've included links to the products and their videos to guide you along.
