Helpful Expert Reply:
I recommend going with the Curt Custom Fifth Wheel Installation Kit, # C16418-204, for your 2002 GMC Sierra 1500 HD with a 6-1/2 ft bed. The brackets in this kit mount to existing holes in you truck's frame which minimizes drilling so installation time is cut in half compared to the universal system. This system is compatible with Curt, Draw-Tite, Hidden Hitch, Reese, Valley and Husky 5th wheel hitches which use industry standard rails.
If you are in the market for a fifth wheel hitch, take a look at the Curt A20 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch w/ R20 Slider, # C16541. This hitch offers a dual jaw for less rattle and more security and the non-binding slider provides the clearance required for short-bed pickup to turn safely at slow speeds.
