Demco offer an 18K or a 21K auto sliding fifth wheel hitch for your truck. For an 18K, use part # DM8550024 or # DM8550038 for a 21K capacity. These hitches are specifically designed to drop right into the existing pucks (initial adjustment might be needed) without needing an adapter of any kind. During turns, the hitch automatically slides rearward to provide additional clearance between the front of the fifth wheel and the rear of the truck cab during sharp turns. Once the turn's complete the hitch will move back forward to its original position.
If you need a wiring harness to install a 7-way connector on the inside of the bed, you can so so with part # DM8555002. I've linked you to an install video for the hitch and the wiring.
