For your 2016 Chevy Silverado 3500 short bed without the factory rail kit I would highly recommend the B and W Companion fifth wheel hitch setup as the Companion hitch is regarded by many in the RV community as the nicest fifth wheel hitch around.

For that you would want the part # BWRVK3400-5W for the fifth wheel slider hitch and then part # BWGNRK1016-5W for the rail kit. Another really nice benefit to this setup is that when you remove the fifth wheel hitch you also have a gooseneck hitch. It really is the best of both worlds.

I attached an install video for the rail kit/gooseneck hitch as well.
