I am considering switching to an Auto slider Reese 5th wheel. Will a Reese slider fit my existing Reese 16 K 5th wheel bed mounts?

Hey Michael,
If the capacity of the hitch is the same it will work. Those 5th wheel rails are industry standard whether it is a slider or fixed hitch. Where it gets iffy is when you have a much higher rated slider than what your rails are rated for. Fitment is no issue you just want to make sure the rails are going to be able to handle the load you will be towing with the hitch.
What vehicle are you looking to put this in?
