I do have a 5th wheel installation kit compatible with your 2010 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 with the 6-1/2' bed but the Reese Quick-Install Custom Bracket Kit for 5th Wheel Trailer Hitches part # RP50074 will not work for you as they are designed to fit Ford Super Duty Pickup Trucks.

For a 5th wheel installation kit that will fit your truck, I recommend taking a look at the Reese Quick-Install Custom Base Rails part # RP56007-53 for an outboard rail kit or part # RP50064-58 for an inboard rail kit. Inboard installation kits provide a connection point for the base rails and frame brackets inside the frame rail on your truck and outboard installation kits as the name states, provide a connection point for the base rails and frame brackets outside the frame rail on your truck. The outboard kit will be much easier to install than the inboard kit but will be a bit more money.

I have attached an installation video for each kit for you so you can see how they compare.
