Hey Tim,
For sure, we can get you the best 5th wheel mounting brackets for your 2006 Chevy Silverado 2500 HD, and for that go with the Curt Custom Fifth Wheel Installation Kit for Chevy/GMC # C16418-204.
These have the thickness you want and less drilling than the mediocre universal kits so they are definitely the way to go.
