Helpful Expert Reply:
To install a Reese fifth wheel such as # RP30047 you will only need a base rail kit, the Reese Universal Base Rails and Installation Kit for 5th Wheel Trailer Hitches # RP30035. These are above-bed rails which will allow you to mount the Reese hitch in your 1999 Ford F-250's truck bed. I've added links to a video review and installation of these rails for you to take a look at.
