For your 1997 Ford F-250 Powerstroke with Reese's Hide-A-Goose, you have a few options. One really good option is the Hi-Rise Gooseneck-to-5th-Wheel Trailer Hitch Adapter by Bulldog, Draw-Tite and Reese, # 9480. This 5th wheel adapter sits in the ball hole of the under-bed gooseneck hitch for sturdy mounting. It has offset legs that offer a wide stance for increased stability. This adapter offers you the benefits of a 5th wheel hitch in usability and compatibility. There is not a sliding hitch option for short bed trucks with this adapter hitch, so you will have limited turning clearance with your 6-1/2 foot bed.

No adapters are recommended for use with a Revolution or Sidewinder pin boxes. They are not compatible with any device that changes the pivot point of the trailer's king pin.
