• Is There a Way to Install a Gooseneck Hitch in 2005 Ford F-350 Cab and Chassis Truck
  You are correct that the cab and chassis models of trucks have a narrower frame width at 34 inches instead of typically around 37 inches so the gooseneck fits are different. The Curt Flat Plate Gooseneck # C65500 is a multi-fit application that can be used on a cab and chassis truck. Typically, the plate would be placed on top of the flat bed over the rear axle. You will need to have a shop fabricate rails to be used to provide the under bed bracing in order to reach the maximum 30K...

• Gooseneck Hitch Recommended 2004 Dodge Ram 3500 Short Bed Dually
  You could use a standard frame mounted hitch like # BWGNRK1313, but the steel plate you show in the provided photo would need to be removed. Because I have no idea how well the plate has been welded, and what exactly its been welded to it's difficult to say with certainty what the strength would be, but if the Curt # C65500 gooseneck hitch you'd looked at could be tied into that plate using the six 5/8 inch grade 5 bolts that Curt recommends, it would be a good choice for you.

• Can Curt C65500 Flat Plate Gooseneck Hitch Be Installed Behind Truck's Rear Axle
  I'd wholeheartedly agree with you. A gooseneck or 5th wheel hitch shouldn't be installed any further to the rear than the centerline of the rear axle. Placing the trailer's pin weight behind the rear axle can make the rear axle act like a fulcrum, removing weight from the front vehicle axle which can negatively affect steering and braking response. Since the front brakes of a vehicle will typically provide 75% or so of the braking, removing any downforce from the front axle can lead to...
