Expert Reply:
The Under-Bed Rail and Installation Kit for Reese Elite Series 5th Wheel Trailer Hitches, like part # RP30061, which allow the use of the Reese M5 Series 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch, part # RP30921, that you referenced, are not compatible with your 2006 Chevrolet 3500. Unfortunately you will not be able to use that 5th wheel hitch.
To get the most out of your Chevy I recommend going with the B&W Gooseneck Hitch and 5th Wheel Combination. This will include the Custom Underbed Installation Kit for B&W Companion 5th Wheel Trailer Hitches # BWGNRK1062-5W, along with the B&W Companion 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch # BWRVK3500-5W. Going with this option allows you to tow both gooseneck and 5th wheel hitches, depending on your application. When you want access to your full bed, all you have to do is remove the companion and you are good to go!
