J. Broussard –
Bought this Fleetside 6.5ft short box for my 2003 Silverado 2500 HD after salt-belt corrosion finally ate through my original bed. Bed showed up structurally solid, no rust-through spots, mounting features clean. Body shop painted to Victory Red and dropped it on the frame without fitment fights. Fuel door lined up like the FAQ said. Truck is back to hauling firewood.
W. Cottingham –
Ordered this bed for my 2004 GMC Sierra 2500 HD (called Part Nests to confirm Silverado / Sierra cross-app – same GMT800 platform per their team). Bed arrived on a freight pallet in the shape described, corrosion condition matched the disclosure. Reused my tailgate and taillights since those weren’t included. Bolted right on. Great replacement for a rusted-out bed.
