Expert Reply:
For a 5th-wheel install kit for your 6-3/4 inch bed 2009 Ford F-350, I recommend the Reese Quick-Install Custom Installation Kit w/ Base Rails for 5th Wheel Trailer Hitches # RP50082-58. The Reese kit includes vehicle-specific brackets that mount to existing holes in your vehicle's frame. This customization allows you to cut the installation time in half compared to universal units. As far as compatibility with your your 5th-wheel hitch, the Reese kit rails will fit all industry-standard hitches.
If you need a wiring option for the Reese kit, I recommend the Fifth Wheel and Gooseneck Trailer Hitch Wiring Connector, 7-Way # C56000.
I went ahead and linked an install vehicle on a 2009 Ford F-250 to walk you through the process. The installation will be nearly identical on your F-350.
