To add a set of 5th wheel rails to the bed of your 2017 Chevy Silverado 1500 you will want the Curt Custom Fifth Wheel Installation Kit item # C16400-204. This custom installation kit mounts in pre existing holes in your Silverado's frame. It will give you a set of industry standard rails that are compatible with most 5th wheel hitches.
To make towing with a 5th wheel easier I recommend adding the Curt 5th Wheel/Gooseneck Custom Wiring Harness w/ 7-Pole Connector - 10' Long item # C56000. This harness puts a 7-way connector in the bed of your truck and allows you to keep the one on your bumper. This makes hooking up to your 5th wheel trailer easier and more convenient.
I have linked an installation video below.
