2013 OEM 5th Wheel Prep Package?

I just picked up a 2013 F250 crew cab short bed 6.7 diesel and I am looking to put the OEM fifth wheel prep package in it. Does anyone know the Ford part numbers for the complete hitch plate and bracket/hardware and wireing kit? I tried searching and the part number I come up with is for just for the main plate as far as I can tell. Thank you in advance for any help.

there is a part number in the last pic of this listing.
listing is not mine.
also, there are different kits...one has a extra plate for trucks that do not have the extra plate already welded, the other does not have the extra plate .

Thank you for the link and info. My truck is a 2013 and I’m unsure if that one would fit my truck because the link is for 2017-2022. It’s not a bad price though.

There's two different hitches listed here so here's the link for a 2013 F250.

Something to consider......the B&W hitch uses a square shank gooseneck ball and will allow the use of a 4" offset ball if needed for those of us with the short beds. This cannot be done with the OEM prep package because the ball shank is round.
