You can use B&W Replacement Base # BWRVB3705 to convert your 20K or 25K Companion 5th wheel hitch from the Ford factory setup to the GM factory setup. The hitch head assembly will transfer right over to the new base and give you the same hitch as part # BWRVK3705 (25K) or # BWRVK3700 (20K) which are the GM versions.

If you also need a 7-way wiring kit for the truck bed you can use kit # C56000.

It sounds like the 2022 Chevy Silverado 3500 you are getting has the short bed. In that case, yes, you definitely want the sliding 5th wheel hitch for clearance. The good news is you will not need to purchase the entire B&W Companion #BWRVK3775.…
