I posted this in a couple FB groups without anyone with first hand experience. Thought I would try here as well. 
 

Does anyone actually have these boxes?  I’ve got a 2020 HD short box and is says they don’t fit. I cannot find any measurements online. I understand that they wouldn’t take up the full bedside like they do in the short bed 1500’s and I think that would be a bonus for the 2500’s since it would leave access to the tie downs. Just wondering if anyone actually has these because I haven’t seen a pic of these in an actual truck. Just the GM stock photo’s. If anyone has another suggestion For something similar id love to see other options. Thx in advance!

 

Someone did post a pic of the boxes in their truck. Another thing that concerns me is the ability to use with a BAKFlip system as well. For me, that would be the Ultimate solution to have the boxes fit under the cover. The person who had the boxes installed said they got them wholesale for under $800.

from the picture it look like the reason that it would not fit would be due to the clamps for the rails on all low profile bed covers not having enough room to fit. if you watch some install videos on those bed covers you will see what i am talking about. sorry i couldnt be more help, but it might be possible to make them work together if you get creative. best of luck

These fit the standard bed 1500. I don't know if they make ones for the short bed 1500.

I believe new short beds is 5ft8in and the standard bed is 6ft5in.

I thought about them, but since I didn't know if they would work with the folding bed cover so I went with the Mega Box and the Swing Out Tool Boxes which I knew would work under the cover.  The mega box folds up into the space under the front of the folding bed cover and the swing out tool boxes remove by swinging them out and lifting up so if I need it, I have almost all of the bed.

Nice..thanks for the links. I've seen videos of that particular swing out tool box before. They seem kinda flimsy. When people were handing them in the videos they were flexing and bouncing around on the hinges.  Are you happy with the quality of them for the money?

I might be interested. I have to see which brand bed cover I have. It's at the dealer right now for a recall for the mounting clips

I have an undercover swing case. I love it. It's pretty much full and it doesn't feel too flimsy. If you filled it with multiple heavy items like hitches, I could see a problem. But I love how it works, and it is easily removed if I want to use the whole bed.

You need the ones for the HD bed.  1/2 ton box is 6ft 6in, the HD standard box is 6ft 9in.

 

84492907 is the 2 box kit for HD.  If you want individuals (so just the left or right side) 84362597 is the left, 84362598 is the right.

These are my 2nd set of undercover swing cases, I had a set on the truck I traded in.  They lasted 8 years without any issues.  They are not as rugged as the side boxes that bolt in and are stationary, but they hold up well as long as they are not overloaded with heavy items.

Great. Thanks for the information. I cannot find much on these part numbers but, I’ll reach out to the dealer. I’d love to find a dealer that will take them back if they don’t work!  I love the idea and design of these boxes but, if I cannot get them to work with the bakflip, it’s a no go for me!

      You could try a used 1, they used that engine in the Astro vans, Plenty of them in the boneyard. Look for a wrecked or rotted 1 so the chance that it was scrapped for that reason and not a mechanical issue will be greater

      2018 Silverado Console USB Port Not Working

      By Tbhats2130 · Posted

      My centre console USB ports haven’t been working and the one in the glovebox is starting to act up. When I plug my phone into the cord the radio will go black and stop playing, and the CarPlay is inconsistent.   I checked the fuses and they were fine. I changed the USB port out and still nothing. Hoping for some advice on what I should be looking at.

      The truck is a 1995 Chevrolet S10 Blazer, 4.3 VIN "W" engine. :cracks knuckles:   On a whim - because I needed a headache - this truck was for sale so I stopped to take a look. Doesn't run. Well, it does, but barely. Long crank, choppy idle, bad misfire(s), it REEKS of fuel. I can DO this..I'm thinking. Diamond in the rough. One owner until last year. A young guy is selling it, he bought it 6 months ago. It stranded him more than once, he's got a newborn. It was in the shop 10 days ago and he "thinks" they said it needs a new fuel injection system. He can't put any more money into it, needs it gone. I was thinking of upgrading my Macbook, which is a total want, not a need. For less than the price of a new laptop I can have fun for months tinkering on this truck and enjoying it. I'm taking this truck home. The guy was beyond thrilled, his wife was there, she thanked me profusely, I could tell they were hurting. They seemed like good people in a bind.   Some parts, a wash, maybe a set of tires, and I can have a few months of fun and then turn it for beer money (or the next project).   Sure enough, there's a work order from a shop last week in the INCHES of paperwork on this truck dating back to when the first owner bought it. They put a new distributor in it, fuel injection work describes basically opening the plenum and putting it back together. He said he couldn't afford any more work so he had them button it up and that's when he put it up for sale.   I'm not well versed in 4.3. I did discover 1995 uses the 1992-1995 SCPI "Spider" injector which is riddled with issues from splitting lines, clogged or cracked poppet valves and plastic spider legs that crumble over time. Cool. I'll just order me a ne---. Oh, the auto parts store doesn't have it? Rock Auto doesn't have it. eBay? $$$$$$ for used. These are UNAVAILABLE period end of story unless you know "a guy" who's still got one in a box somewhere.   Can't upgrade to the '96-'04 injector, it's a different plenum, wiring/pinout and sensor config.   There are a few kinda "know a guy" -guy rebuild services for these injectors out there for about $350. Okay, Okay... I'd like to know if anyone has used them? Anyone got a lead on these crappy 92-95 spiders?   I also don't want to send MY spider to Narnia and back without knowing if that's truly the problem. I guess I'll need to pull apart the plenum and do some digging.   I was also thrown for a loop. This 1995 model year truck has an OBD-II connector. The interface is decidedly not OBD-II. I can read and reset trouble codes and view live data, but there's not a lot of data. Like misfire count and on what cylinder, that's not there. It's OBD-1.5.   Nothing is ever easy. Now it makes sense why this guy wanted to disappear this thing for cheap. I'm guessing the shop told him the injector is toast, the part is unobtainable and they're not going to sort sending the thing to a rando offering rebuild service on craigslist, and the kid likely can't be without a working car for 3 weeks even if they'd facilitate that.   Experience with these early SCPI's? Stories? Things to check? Sympathy? (..Nah...)   This can sit until I sort it. But I haven't had a problem with a vehicle I couldn't easily solve in a long time.
