2017 Flatbed

Does anyone make a basic flat bed that would allow use of the factory fifth wheel and gooseneck bracket?

Kinda getting the cart before the horse. You purchase a flatbed from any number of companies, and then select a 5th wheel based on your hitch height requirements. B&W makes a "short" hitch for flatbed trucks.

I currently own a 2012 f350 dually and already have the Reese 25K hitch that works with the fifth wheel prep from Ford. Taking delivery of a 2017 in January and am thinking I'd prefer to have a flat bed instead of the regular pickup box. Was hoping to utilize the Ford equipment if possible. Pipe dream??
