GM bed side boxes

[Jaye]

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.

I got them from the dealer when I bought the truck.

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!
