Congrats on the new truck! To add a set of 5th wheel rails to your 2023 Ford F-350, I recommend the B&W Custom Installation Kit w/ Base Rails item # BWRVK2402. These custom fit brackets mount to existing holes in your Ford's frame. They fit both the 6-3/4' and 8' bed lengths.
To make towing with a 5th wheel easier, I also recommend adding the Curt 5th Wheel/Gooseneck Custom Wiring Harness item # C57010. 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.
I have linked a couple of installation videos below so you can see how to get these parts set up.
