Hey John.
Yes, the Curt E16 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch - Slide Bar Jaw - 16,000 lbs # C16115 will fit as long as you have the Industry Standard Rails for fifth wheel hitches. If you don't you'll first need to install Curt Custom Fifth Wheel Bracket Kit for Chevy/GMC # C16418 and Curt Universal Fifth Wheel Base Rails # C16204.
Keep in mind, if you have the short bed 6-1/2' length, then you'll want to make sure your trailer has a tapered front end so you can make sharp turns without contacting the cab of the truck. If yours doesn't have a tapered front end, you'd instead want a slider hitch like Curt E16 Slider # C95DR.
What setup do you have and what kind of trailer is it?
