Hey Mickey! Yes, a gooseneck pin box like the Gen-Y Nomad # GY57ND you were looking at can be added to your 5th wheel. Those typically have a 1621 or 1716 bolt pattern, but you will need to measure to be sure. See the attached photo.
This version of the Nomad fits 1621, 1116, and 1716 5th-wheel pin boxes. If you find that it is a 1116 or 1716 you will need shims # GY76FR. You will also need safety chains # GY49GR to complete your setup along with # IR48FR (optional) for a lock if you want to keep it secure.
Shock absorbing models are also available. If that is what you're interested in I will need to know the bolt pattern as well as the GVWR of your trailer to find the right fit.
Where are you headed once you replace the pin box?

This was easy to install on our 32' Outdoor RV. I ordered the recommended spacers and I am glad that I did. This is a great product.

Easy installing, I replaced with slightly longer g-8 bolts . Good for the price.
