Assuming it's the old style rails for a hitch, facebook marketplace should have plenty for cheap. Assuming it's the newer puck style, you can try but likely will be looking at buying new for much higher price.
What is the model of the truck, engine and what does the sticker on he door say for payload?
What is the model 5th wheel and what is the GVWR.
"Tow rating" is rarely the limiting factor for towing a 5th wheel. It's "payload" that usually limits you. You should expect 20-25% of the trailer GVWR to sit on the hitch (aka: pin weight). This weight counts against your payload along with the hitch, passengers and any other gear or bolt on items in the truck. A 10,000lb GVWR trailer can have a 2500lb pin weight.
