Expert Reply:

Since your flat bed truck would sit higher than a standard pick up truck bed you would need to go with the low profile Reese hitch part # RP30054 for a fifth wheel to tow your trailer. A standard height fifth wheel would sit too high to allow your trailer to sit level.

Installation of the Reese low-profile fifth-wheel trailer hitch may require welding and moderate fabrication to ensure that the hitch is connected either directly to your vehicle's frame or to a substantial steel support structure that connects to the frame. Do not fasten to your truck's floor only. Seek out a qualified fabricator for this.
