There is not a custom fit gooseneck hitch and underbed rails for your 2000 Ford F-350 Cab and Chassis. Your best option is to use the B&W Turnoverball Underbed Gooseneck Trailer Hitch for Flatbed Trucks - 30,000 lbs # BWGNRK1500 which will require custom welding for installation.

Another option is to use the Buyers Products 2-5/16" Fabricators Flatbed Gooseneck Hitch # 3375613500. I've attached a video of each to assist.

If you are having trouble sliding the Curt Double Lock #C60720 rails between the frame and bed of your 2012 Ford F-350, I would not recommend loosening the in-bed bolts; instead, the directions do recommend you cut a notch in the flange on the…
