Box size on short box trucks

[sxmax]

Looking at a 1500HD CC short box. I want to get a topper and I want to look for a used one. Are the box sizes the same on all short box HD trucks 1500HD 2500HD crew & ext. Any difference between GMC or Chev?

 

Thanks!

I'm no expert but know that the new 2004 1500 Crew Cabs have a bed that is shorter than the standard shortbed on my 2500LD....They're making it more and more confusing, aren't they! Tme to get out the tape measurer.

I have the fiberglass cap that was on my '00 1500 excab shortbed on my '01 2500HD crewcab. It fit's perfect.

 

The new 1500 crewcabs have a shorter bed though...

 

If you are looking at a 1500HD crewcab, then a cap/topper from any 1500 or 2500/HD shortbed will fit (reg cab, excab, crewcab).

Shaners,

Dealer pretty much said what you did but I went out to Leer's site just for fun and they list a different PN for CC versus that of a reg or ext cab shotbox truck? Although it looked as though 1500 or 2500 did not matter but whether is was a crewcab did? Now I am really confused.

Here's a pic of my Lear on my '00 1500

Here is the same cap on my HD crewcab...

As long as it is not the new 1500 Crew-Cab with the "shorty-short-bed!" all short beds are the same size no matter if its on a reg.cab,ext.cab or 1500hd/2500/2500hd/3500 crew-cab chassis.

And by the way Shaners did you all escape all of the flooding up there in Grove City?

is there any difference between the ford short box and the Chevy's? I have an old cap I'd like to customize to use as a dog box.

We had some bad flooding here with Frances but Ivan wasn't as bad here as it was in Pittsburgh.

Ford's shortbox (excluding SuperCrew) is 6ft9in approx. GM's are 6ft6in. The width across the rails is different too.

To answer your questions:

 

-- The "short bed" on the 1500HD (or 2500 CC depending on the year!), 1500 ext cab, 2500, and 2500HD is 6'6" inside the tailgate.

-- The "shorter bed" on the Half-Ton Crew Cab (1500 CC) is 5'8" inside the tailgate.

-- There is no difference between GMC and Chevy.
