For your 1976 Ford F-250 4x4, there isn't a direct gooseneck hitch option but we do have a work around. I recommend the Reese Universal Base Rails and Installation Kit # RP30035 to give you the stability needed from your truck frame and then the gooseneck adapter # 16055 or wider based # 16085 to give you the hitch ball and safety chain loops.

I've attached a video showing both to assist.

Hi Glen, It will depend on what the GVWR (gross vehicle weight rating) is of your trailer to determine which B&W 5th wheel to gooseneck adapter will work best for you. Fifth wheels and gooseneck trailers go off of pin weight instead of tongue…
