You will need an adapter to use your current Demco sliding hitch. Since the 5th wheel prep package was not available in 2000, your current hitch is most likely using industry standard mounting points. The Demco 5th Wheel Rail Adapter for Ford # DM6175 will fit into the prep package of your 2021 Ford F-250 and provide you with industry standard mounting points to use your Demco sliding hitch.
