If you have a set of Reese 10 bolt rails already all you would need to install them into your 2014 Chevy Silverado 1500 with a 5-1/2 foot bed is the part # RP30439. This is a bracket and hardware kit that comes with everything you would need to install the rails.

We don't recommend mixing rail and bracket manufacturers so if you do not have Reese rails you would need the whole kit that comes with rails part # RP30035.
