So the now-discontinued Bulldog gooseneck 947533 will not fit your 1997 Ford F-350 unfortunately, as there isn't a mounting kit of any weight capacity that will allow it to fit your truck. So the best option available is a new gooseneck hitch with a 30,000 lb capacity.

So long as you do not have the Cab and Chassis or 34 inch frame I recommend the following

- B&W Turnoverball Underbed Gooseneck Trailer Hitch with Custom Installation Kit # BWGNRK1110

The B&W is the best hitch due to the square base of the hitch ball which results in no movement, and is widely considered to be the best gooseneck hitch in the industry. I have added a link below to a video review for you to check out as well.
