I would be happy to Kirk! To add a set of 5th wheel rails to your 2020 Ford F-250 with a 6-1/2' bed you'll want the Curt Custom Fifth Wheel Installation Kit for Ford item # C79BR. These rails are custom fit and install in predrilled holes in your truck's frame.
I have linked an installation video below so you can see how to get them installed. If you have any additional questions go ahead and throw them into the comment box below.
To make towing with a 5th wheel easier, I recommend adding the Curt 5th Wheel/Gooseneck Custom Wiring Harness item # C57008. 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.
