Hey Merle. I've got a solution, but the Roadmaster Straight Electrical Socket Bracket item # RM-910030 you were looking at, is for a flat tow setup. It fits a 6-pin round connector so a 7-way is not going to work.
We don't sell the replacement factory bracket that hangs down by the hitch or installs inside the bumper. Which means the twist lock 7-way connectors like item # PK11916 that designed for it won't fit a new bracket and neither will yours.
I recommend purchasing the Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness for Factory Tow Package item # C55774. This connector is going to plug directly into your factory wiring and bolt directly to your Silverado with the included bracket. This 7-way connector comes with everything you need to get it installed and also includes a 4-way flat that's built in.
Where does your factory 7-way mount? Below the bumper or inside the bumper?
