We can help you with just the Reese frame brackets for 5th wheel base rail installation in your 2016 Chevy Silverado 2500HD with 6-1/2-foot bed and without the factory rail kit. For just the frame bracket and frame hardware kit you can use part # RP50066. For hardware to attach the rails to the brackets use # RP58504.

The complete base rail, bracket and hardware kit is part # RP50066-58.

If the front of your 5th wheel has the concaved-in front corners for cab clearance and the 5th wheel manufacturer specifically states that a sliding hitch isn't needed, the Demco #DM8550045 Recon adapter would be an excellent choice. Otherwise,…
