The Demco Recon Gooseneck-to-5th Wheel Trailer Hitch Adapter for Recessed Ball - Single Jaw - 21,000 lbs # DM8550046 weighs 119 lbs. This does not have any offset for use with your short bed truck.

A better option may be the Convert-A-Ball Cushioned 5th-Wheel-to-Gooseneck Adapter w/ Offset - 12" to 16" Tall # CAB-C5GX1216. This has a 7-1/2" offset which will give you additional clearance with a short bed truck.
