Hi Michael!
I have an option for you, but the B&W Heavy-Duty Trailer Hitch Receiver # BWHDRH25189 is designed for the standard pick-up, so it will be too wide. The frame on the standard pick-up for a 2001 GMC Sierra 2500HD looks to be 42" wide, but cab and chassis models are 34" wide (measured inside to inside).
So with that said, what you are going to want is the B&W Heavy-Duty Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class V - 2" # BWHDRH25122. This is technically listed for a 3500 cab and chassis, but I did just confirm with B&W that it is the correct one for a 2500HD cab and chassis as well. You will need to drill into the frame for the install, but it is the best option for your truck.
What are you going to be towing?

Hey Michael, how did things go with the B&W hitch for your 2500HD cab and chassis? Did the fit work out well after drilling into the frame? Your update could make it easier for others working with the same setup.
