You can convert the Reese fifth wheel hitch you have to a sliding fifth wheel and still use the standard base rails you have.
You will need the Reese Fifth Wheel Slider w/ Rollers for 15K, 16K and 20K Head, part # RP30048 or # RP50024.
You will also need an installation kit, part # RP58426 if you have the above bed base rails for the fifth wheel. If you need the base rails as well you can use part # RP30035-426 on yoru F-150.
