Ball Mount with Pintle Attachment, 2 Inch Ball, and 2-5/16 Inch Ball

Question

Question:

2016 silverado 3500HD I just received this vehicle at work and need the ability to change from pintle, 2 5/16 and 2 inch ball mounts. If I bought the pintle stow and tow 2 5/16inch can I purchase another adapter with a 2inch ball already mounted so the ball/pintle could be removed and the 2inch ball only installed when that hitch is needed. If so what adapter and ball shank are needed. The adapter for the clevis looks like it could be used for this.
