Hey Ronnie,
The best gooseneck hitch for your 2004 Chevy Silverado 1500 is the B&W Turnoverball # BWGNRK1059. There are a few different options that fit your truck, but the B&W is hands-down the best aftermarket option because you can completely remove the hitch ball or even store it upside down in the receiver, so you have a completely clean and clear truck bed when you need it.
Something else to think about is adding a 7-Way socket into the bed of your truck to make it easier to connect your trailer wiring. For this we have the Hopkins Endurance Wiring # 41157 which simply tees in behind the 7-Way on your bumper and then you make a cutout for the socket in your truck bed.
Attached are a few videos to give you an idea of what is entailed in both installations.
