Expert Reply:
To lock the base of the B&W Companion OEM 5th Wheel Hitch for Chevy/GMC Towing Prep Package # BWRVK3710 to the bed you can swap out the pin & clips that lock the puck levers in place with Master Lock Padlock # ML140DLH. These aren't rated for towing so you would need to remove the locks and swap back to the pin & clips to tow.
To lock the hitch head to the base of the hitch I typically recommend using a cable lock # 8419DPF and running it through the jaws and then through the base to lock them together. You can then lock the jaws i place with another padlock instead of the included to pin & clip. Just make sure you switch back to it when towing.
