Bed on a 2005 CC???? Help

silverado04 · February 25, 2005

I went to install my snap on bed cover today and found the rails of the cover to be to narrow? I had this sports master cover on my 2001 shortbox (was ordered for it) when I sold it I kept the cover, put it on my 04 no problem with fit..it had the line-x over the rail liner this making the stake holes smaller.. I went to put it on the 05 and found that it does not cover the stake holes, aprox 1/4 inch shy on both sides at the rear and fine at the front?

Anyone else run into this? does this mean GM changed the box for 05? or is it the same as the 04 and such but just different then the 2001? also does anyone know of a good snap cover that will work on the 05 then?

Off to find me a 05 cover to order..

When I read the instructions on my Retrax Rolling Bed Cover, they said that "no two beds are exactly the same dimensions", hence the Bed Cover has built in adjustments. In fact on my 05 the front of the box is wider than the rear of the box.

I think I may have found what makes the diff.. I believe based on part numbers for different covers that the Crew Cab does indeed have a different bed size then does the ext. cab or reg. cab trucks..

I done some looking into some bed covers and most of what I looked at had 2004-current crew cabs listed with different numbers then the others.. So I will be buying a new one.

This one would work if I didn't mind the little gap at the rear stake holes, But knowing its there bugs me. So if anyone is looking for a Nice SportMaster snap bed cover Let me know...

The 2004-up CC could be referring to the 1/2 ton crew.
