The etrailer.com Hitch # e98849 is designed to fit the 2003 Silverado 1500 and 2500 LD models, so it will not fit your HD. However, I do have an alternate option available.

The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # 13211 will have the same weight ratings of 6,000 pounds towing (10,000 pounds with weight distribution), and 600 pounds of tongue weight (1,000 pounds with weight distribution).
