Short easy answer: Drive the truck to an RV dealership. Walk inside. Ask for the parts counter. Explain your situation to the person behind the counter. If they try to sell you something without even looking at your truck, walk out and head to the next RV dealership.

I agree though. Not sure what your age or gender has to do with anything, and posting your phone number is not advisable. If you want answers, please participate in the discussion. This is not a service department where someone calls you back.

OMG. This is like a train wreck. 
First, reading comprehension. The lady literally said she has a puck system in her truck (in slightly different wording). 
And lady, if this is the first time you’ve used the internet I understand, but why would you ever just post your phone number publicly, randomly?  Don’t do that. lol. 
You can use the internet to find a retailer to buy one, classified adds to buy a used one. Or a shop to procure and install for you if you’re not capable of finding or installing. (To be fair, puck system attachments are made so that even a person with virtually zero knowledge or ability can actually install it themselves easily. 
Second, assuming you know less than nothing about towing, or you wouldn’t be asking this question. Did you actually jump in with both feet and buy a 5ver and are skilled and knowledgeable enough to do everything required to tow it safely, including towing it safely and not being a rolling roadblock or accident in progress?

sorry for the diatribe, it’s just curious how one can have zero knowledge or understanding of even finding a hitch yet somehow has the knowledge and understanding to tow a big trailer.

You can find FW hitches new and used if you look around. You need to know if you have a rail system or a puck system. That will determine the base for the hitch. Then you need to know the weight of your fifth wheel and get the hitch that can support pulling that weight. More is always better.  A local Rv dealership I am sure could help you out as well as the person you bought the fifth wheel from. E trailer is a good place to buy new.  

And FWIW, never put your phone number in a public forum on the internet. There are Spammers on here too.

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.
