The easiest way to convert a 5th wheel trailer to connect to gooseneck hitch is by using either the Cushioned 5th-Wheel-to-Gooseneck Adapter # CAB-C5G or Cushioned 5th-Wheel-to-Gooseneck Adapter w/ Offset # CAB-C5GX1216. Both of these attach to the king pin and are adjustable from 12"-16" tall. They can be used on trailers up to 20,000lbs with a 4,000lb tongue weight.
If you prefer to use replace the entire pin box with one like the Gen-Y Hitch Shock Absorbing 5th Wheel to Gooseneck Pin Box # GY48GR I need to know what bolt pattern your pin box is and the tongue weight of the enclosed trailer when loaded.
