Expert Reply:
Yes, the Demco 5th Wheel Rail Adapter for Chevy/GMC OEM 5th Wheel Towing Prep Package - 21,000 lbs Item # DM6194 is for short bed trucks and will not fit the long bed version of the 2017 Chevy Silverado 3500. The prep package puck spacing is different between the short and long bed versions.
There isn't an adapter for the long bed versions but there are numerous 5th wheel trailer hitches that fit directly in the factory prep package on the 2017 Silverado long beds, see link below.
The most popular is the B&W Companion OEM 5th Wheel Hitch for Chevy/GMC Towing Prep Package - Dual Jaw - 20,000 lbs Item # BWRVK3700. It is rated for 20,000 pounds gross trailer weight, has a secure double jaw design, and it is made in the USA! I have linked a video review of this hitch for you.
