Yes, the Curt universal fifth wheel kit part # C16100 that you referenced does fit your 1999 Dodge Ram 1500 short bed as we have confirmed that L-bracket style, universal rail kits like this do fit your truck.

You are going to need a slider hitch to allow your truck to make tight turns without cab interference like the Reese 16k slider hitch part # RP30051. Whenever you get to a parking lot or a tight turn you'd be able to slide the hitch back to gain additional turning clearance when needed.
