For your 2013 Chevy Silverado 2500 with 6-1/2 foot bed, let's start with the base rails, and the best option due to the fact that it does not require drilling into your truck bed is the Curt Custom Fifth Wheel Installation Kit for Chevy/GMC - Carbide Finish # C16411-204.
The sliding 5th wheel hitch I recommend for your truck is the Reese 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch w/ Round Tube Slider # RP30075.
I like this hitch due to its value; though it is a lesser cost than similar sliding 5th wheel hitches, it will still give you a good towing experience due to its strong dual jaws for full kingpin contact and a quieter ride.
Finally, if you need a 5th wheel wiring harness, I recommend the Curt 5th Wheel/Gooseneck Custom Wiring Harness w/ 7-Pole Connector # C56070.
