Under Bed Fifth Wheel Mount Mounting Options for 2020 Chevy Silverado 3500
Question:
looking for a puck base for a 2020 chevy 3500

The only 'puck' system that's currently available for the 2020 Chevy 3500 is the factory installed one.
This being said, there is an under-bed mounting option that involves using a B&W Gooseneck Hitch for the under-bed hitch mount. For the under-bed portion, you'd use # BWGNRK1020-5W. Then, you'd use the B&W Companion that attaches to the hole where the gooseneck ball would install. For the short bed truck, you'd need the sliding hitch, part # BWRVK3400-5W or for the long bed truck, you'd use # BWRVK3500-5W. This is a great option which will leave the bed floor completely unobstructed after the hitch is removed, unlike a frame bracket/bed rail option that would have the rails permanently bolted to the bed floor. This option will also give you the flexibility to tow both gooseneck and fifth wheel trailers.
You'd also want to install a 7-way in the side of the bed, I'd recommend using # 20110.
I've linked you to install videos for the undber-bed mount and the wiring harness.
