The Custom Underbed Installation Kit for B&W Companion 5th Wheel Trailer Hitches item # BW83FR and item # BW73FR are identical kits that both fit the 2023 Ford F-350 with either the 6-3/4' or 8' bed lengths. It looks like item # BW83FR was the original inventory number but they both have the same components, installation method, and capacities.
I have previously checked with B&W on this Turnoverball system, since you do not have the prep package you will want the B&W Turnoverball Underbed Gooseneck Trailer Hitch item # BW73FR. This system has a 30,000 lbs capacity and you do not need to remove your bed to get it installed.
I have linked the instructions below so you can see the installation process.
To make towing with a 5th wheel easier I recommend adding the Curt 5th Wheel/Gooseneck Custom Wiring Harness w/ 7-Pole Connector - 10' Long item # C57010. This harness puts a 7-way connector in the bed of your truck and allows you to keep the one on your bumper. This makes hooking up to your 5th wheel trailer easier and more convenient.
