Expert Reply:
The part # 16516 is only for the Curt E16 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch w/ R16 Roller and does not include rails to install the hitch in the bed of your 2005 Chevy Silverado. For that you'd also need a rail kit like the Universal Reese Kit part # RP30035 which is a confirmed fit for your truck.
For a 7-way to install in the bed of your truck to make connecting your trailer lights easier you would want the part # 41157. Most 7-ways will be at the rear of the truck near the bumper which doesn't work will with fifth wheel hitches. This kit installs in line with the 7-way at the rear of your truck and gives you a second one to install in the bed.
