I spoke with Lippert and was able to determine that your current pin box has a 1621 bolt pattern with a 15.5K weight capacity, thanks to the numbers you provided. The Reese Goose Box # RP85FR you were looking at is a compatible fit for your bolt pattern and would be your best option.
Since you're switching from a fifth wheel to a Goose Box you'll also need some safety chains to complete your hookup. You can use the Tow Ready Safety Chain Kit with Clevis Hooks # 49150. These chains will mount to your Goose Box, pictured below, and then attach to the safety chain U-bolts of your gooseneck hitch with the clevis hooks.
