Yes they do, Mark. Check out the B&W Patriot 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch w/ Slider for Chevy/GMC # BW84XR. This sliding hitch by B&W has a nice 18k capacity, includes the custom bed rails and mounting hardware for your truck, and has 12" of travel front to back for additional clearance.
Realistically though, with a short bed you're going to be better off using a fixed 5th wheel and a rotating pin box.

Hey Mark, how did the B&W Patriot slider work out in your Sierra’s short bed? Your experience could point others toward the best setup for that truck size.
