The Husky 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch that you referenced will fit industry standard base rails, and I recommend going with the Reese Quick-Install Custom Base Rails and Outboard Installation Kit # RP56017-53.

The outboard installation for this base rail kit makes it much easier and a little quicker to install than the Quick-Install Custom Base Rails and Installation Kit # RP50074-58 that Reese also has to offer. Both will fit your F-350 and work with the Husky that you inquired about, but the outboard kit # RP56017-53 will be easier to install.

If, by chance, your F-350 doesn't already have a 7-Way installed in the bed I recommend installing part # 50-97-410 as it will make connecting and disconnecting your trailer wiring to your F-350 much quicker and easier.
