Expert Reply:
The Demco 5th Wheel Rail Adapter # DM6099 is designed for the OEM puck system on a Ram so it won't fit your 2014 Ford F-250 with the short bed. We do have other 5th wheel hitch options though so that you can get camping!
It looks like you're wanting to use the autosliding Demco Hijacker with an underbed rail system. For I recommend using the equivalent to the Ford OEM Puck System part # RP30138-26. Then you can use the 18K Autoslider # DM8550024 or the 21K Autoslider # DM8550038, both of which mount directly to the pucks. When you aren't towing you can remove the hitch and you have a completely clear bed to do some hauling.
One other thing I recommend installing is an in-bed 7-Way Wiring Kit # 50-97-410. This helps to make connecting/disconnecting your trailer 7-Way much easier, plus you don't have to worry about it coming unplugged while you're traveling since there will be some slack.
Attached are some installation videos that you can check out.
