Hey John, for cab and chassis trucks like your 2020 F-450 there aren't any custom fit gooseneck hitches made so you'll need to fabricate something. For that the best solution is to start with the part # BWGNRK1500 since you are wanting ability to at some point tow a 5th wheel and like B and W.
Since flat bed trucks typically have a recessed gooseneck you'd need the shorter Companion hitch part # BWRVK3050.

Hey John, how did things go with the B&W Turnoverball and Companion setup for your F-450 cab and chassis? Your update could make it easier for others working on a similar flatbed build.
