The B and W Patriot hitch you have # BWRVK3200 is designed to fit the industry standard fifth wheel rail offered by several different manufacturers. So you have a few optoins. The custom install kits are the way to go as they minimize drilling (no frame drilling), and the cut install time down quite a bit as well. I really like the Reese rail kits as they aren't too expensive but you get a great kit and rail setup. So for your 2000 Ford F-350 I'd recomend the Reese kit part # RP50082-58 and you'd be set.
Also, B and W does not make a rail system for the Patriot for your truck at this time. But like I mentioned earlier the Reese kit will fit and work well.
