Hey Morgan. The Demco Recon Gooseneck-to-5th Wheel Trailer Hitch Adapter item # DM8550046, you were looking at is designed specifically for flat bed trucks with a recessed gooseneck ball. This hitch has a 21,000 lbs capacity and attaches directly to your gooseneck ball.

Please note that the top of your hitch ball must be 13/16" or closer to the top of the truck bed. Your recessed well has to be at least 8" long x 5" wide and no wider than the base of the hitch, which measures 22" x 22".

What are the dimensions of your recessed well and how far from the top is your gooseneck ball?

Hey Morgan, did you get a chance to measure the dimensions of your recessed well and the distance of your gooseneck ball from the top of your truck bed? I'm asking to make sure we can help others with similar setups. Let me know if you need more assistance!
