Question:
2017 Silverado 1500 can you get me this hitch with 2 receivers, 1 on either side and nothing in the middle? This will be used to mount a cooler rack, it needs 2 support to prevent wobble.

The Draw-Tite Front Mount Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - 2" # 65064 is the confirmed fit for your 2017 Silverado 1500 and will work well for most applications including your cooler rack. There is not a customized receiver like you stated with two receivers on either side to support a cooler rack. There is not a manufacturer that makes a dual receiver like you are stating so my recommendation is to use this front mounted hitch with a cargo carrier.
For your cargo carrier I recommend the 23x59 Stromberg Carlson Cargo Carrier for 2" Hitches - Steel - 500 lbs
Item # CC-100. It is a super sturdy carrier with a straight shank.
It has not been tested for this, but my mind immediately goes to base plates like the Roadmaster XL Base Plate Kit - Removable Arms # RM-3176-1 for that connection location. These are not warrantied for that application, but would give you the connections in those locations as well as a mounting bar option between the two.
