Adapter Recommendation to Install Reese Slider Hitch in bed of 2017 Chevy Silverado Short Bed

Question

Question:

I have a 2017 Silverado 3500HD with the OEM fifth wheel puck system installed to my truck frame. I know I need the Curt adapter system #C16023 for my puck below bed rail system. My questions is, I have an Reese 20k hitch with slider # 50024. Is this Reese slider mount compatible match up to the mounting slots on the Curt adapter mount system? Thanks for your assistance,

The adapter you need is the part # DM6194 which is a confirmed fit for your 2017 Chevy Silverado 3500 and is compatible with the Reese Slider base part # RP50024 that you mentioned as well as the # RP30048.

The Curt adapter only fits the Curt slider hitches.
