2007 Silverado 1500classic bed swap


Recommended Posts

Got a 07 Silverado 1500 classic crew cab with the short bed 5.8ft. Need to replace my bed but having trouble finding another short bed. 
 

does anyone know if I could put the regular 6ft bed on and will the wheel wheel/fuel filler neck, and bolts line up? 
 

thank you

You can't.

 

The frame and wheel base is shorter on the short bed trucks.

 

You'll have to widen your search area or start buying parts like new bed sides if you are replacing them because of rust.

I’ve been on the hunt for a replacement box for my dads truck! He’s got an 08 Sierra ext cab 6.5’ box.. I haven’t found a box, east coast Canadian, finding anything not rusted out after 5 years is hard enough! 
 

I did however stumble across bed side panels.. but they’re for 99-06 .. 

 

all dimensions are the same other then the outside length which differs by 3/4 inch.

 

Is this going to make a difference? I’ve been  searching online, and keep getting conflicting answers! Some say 99-13 will work, some say 99-06 and 07-13 .. 

 

If it will, is there anything additional I’ll have to do? Will I need to modify anything? 
 

Any insight is appreciated!

The inner bed panels are different on the 99-06 beds, so I doubt you'd be able make the bed panels from the earlier beds work on the later trucks.

 

Here is the link to the GM site for the body panel parts. Scroll down to find the 6.5 foot bed.

The bed part numbers are 25871808 and 10384458.

      I have a 2015 Chevy Silverado with a 6.2L. About 2 months ago I had bent a rod on Cylinder 4. I replaced all the rods, cleaned all the rockers, new lifters (even AFM), new gaskets, plugs, and plug wires. After the truck ran fine for about a week, then threw code P0106, which is a MAP sensor code. And for the life of me I couldn't get the code to stop showing up. If the code is deleted the truck runs perfectly fine for about 30 miles, then it throws the code and has a bogged down, flooded feeling. I've checked everything I can think of and don't know where to go next. 
      What I've checked:
      Wiring Harness and Ground Connections
      New MAP and cleaned MAF
      Air intake gaskets and filter
      Cleaned Throttle body
      Checked Fuel Rails 
      Plugs, Wires
      Compression tests (all at spec or very close) 
      No leaks in intake 
      All fuses 
       
      After I spent two weeks after work on this thing I decided to take to the shop, they tried a new computer, new sensors, and ran a cylinder leak down test. The truck still is not fixed but I brought it home today because they told me the only option was to send the heads in to be cleaned and new valves. Said the carbon build up was causing this issue but I'm confused as to how that would affect MAP sensor. Especially when compression tests are all right where they need to be. When I replaced the rods I even checked to make sure valves weren't stuck and didn't make contact with head of piston. 
       
      Anything help and am open to all options. My next step is to take a look at injectors and to replace/clean the valves myself.

      hello gm-trucks commuinty i’m having issues with a smog readiness monitor not completing. any information on this issue would be greatly appreciated. my truck is a 2001 Chevy Silverado LS 1500 with a 5.3L v8 and it’s 4x2. all the readiness monitors complete except the secondary air system causing the truck to fail smog in california. i’ve heard the air pump turn on at cold starts and even replaced the passenger side check valve. also replaced the solenoid that sends vacuum. everything in the secondary air system seems to be operating properly but the monitor won’t complete. i’ve driven 100s of miles and done countless cold starts but no luck. even the smog referee said the system is working properly and i should just drive the truck more. anyone else experience this issue and what did you have to do to complete the monitor? there are no codes stored currently and the truck runs fine. thank you to anyone that helps

      I have a 2022 Silverado 1500 four-wheel-drive. The dealer ordered the 2 inch lift kit they offer and I’m waiting for it to come in and have it installed. But I noticed that the kit doesn’t come with upper control arms. Is that going to be a problem?
       
      (***UPDATE*** )
       
      so I had the factory lift gm offers installed. When I picked it up, it looked great but as soon as I went to drive it off the lot. I could tell something was wrong it felt completely different. I figured it was just a break in period. But even after a day or two, I was getting crazy bad vibration at low speeds. Took it back. They ended up putting one of the U-bolts on wrong (I have pictures if wanted) they fix that and told me the vibration was gone. I get my keys go to drive away vibrations right back. I turn right back around. this time they have a mechanic ride with me. He clearly hears  an feels a vibration, says somethings wrong so we turned around and he takes it back in. Three hours later they bring my truck back they had to remove the back blocks said there was no taper to them and it was messing up drive line. I got it back and the vibration is still there. (Now annoyed that only the front is lifted and still vibrating). I have them take the whole lift kit off. Put it back to stock. (Now remind you my truck has been down and I’m missing work for 5 days at this point) And after that Whole ordeal, I was done with the truck since I couldn’t have it how I wanted it and decided to trade it in and they made me a good deal on a 2023 5.3 LT.z71
       
      I know many have gotten this lift installed said it worked out for some reason it did not for me. I’m much happier with the new truck.

      I have a 2022 trail boss lt that has about 6100 mile on it now. Bought it brand new in may 2022 and it seems like the drivers seat leans to the left towards the door. Almost feels like Im gonna fall out of it and no matter how I adjust it it seems the same. Visually it looks like it sits level and is fine. Is it possible something is broken inside like the frame? I would assume the frame would have to be sturdy. Is there any place that sell a better bottom cushion?

      My l84 5.3 cracked some pistons now thinking of doing a light hone but wanted to know if it would even save the engine ? The scratches are pretty light my nail doesn’t get stuck but I do feel em. The pours on the other hand I’m not sure what could have caused those little things ?
