Yes, the Reese Universal Base Rails and Installation Kit # RP30035 referenced in your question is confirmed to fit your 1978 Chevy C/K Series Pickup. These industry-standard, above-bed base rails include the needed universal mounting brackets for installing the rails in the bed of your truck. All of the necessary hardware is also included.

I have attached a short video demonstration on this product along with the written installation instructions that you can also take a look at.

If you are still looking for a fifth wheel hitch, I highly recommend the Reese M5 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch # RP30928. This is a really nice hitch that features a forged, single jaw system that will provide a much more secure jaw-to-king-pin connection and a 4-Way pivoting head that will ease hookup, even on unlevel ground. It has a gross towing weight capacity of 20,000 pounds. I have also included a video demonstration on this product that you can check out.
