It looks like the 18k Demco 6077 5th Wheel Hitch mounts on industry standard 5th wheel rails. To install a gooseneck ball on these rails, I recommend the Demco Premier Series Gooseneck Trailer Hitch item # DM5996. This plate will give you a 25,000 lbs capacity 2-5/16" gooseneck ball. I have linked a review video below.

Some of the Demco hitches use a mounting pattern that is similar to the factory puck systems that come in newer trucks. If your 2005 F-250 has holes in the bed for your 5th wheel hitch to mount to then you will need the Demco UMS Series Gooseneck Trailer Hitch for UMS Series Base Rails item # DM5988. This adapter will only work with Demco's underbed system.
