Expert Reply:
You can use the Fifth Wheel Trailer Hitch Custom Installation Kit with Brackets and Rails - Chevy / GMC, item # RP50064-58, which will only require drilling through the bed for installation. You could also use the Curt Custom, No-Drill Fifth Wheel Bracket Kit for Chevy/GMC, item # C16418, along with the Curt Universal Fifth Wheel Base Rails - Carbide Black Finish, item # C16204, which will also be a no drill frame installation that only requires drilling through the bed.
Along with these installation kits I would recommend the 18K Select Plus Fifth Wheel Hitch with Round Tube Slider by Draw-Tite, Reese and Hidden Hitch , item # 30083, for your Chevy.
