What Parts do I Need to Install Wiring on My New Truck Bed?

Question:

Have a 2009 chevy 3500. Removed bed rusted out. found a factory 2022 bed. With some minor welding was able to install onto frame...is there an adapter that you sell or are aware of to connect wiring harnesses. Or should I just rewire? Looking to wire tail lights brake back up lights

In order to use a new bed on your 2009 Chevy 3500, you need to rewire the truck. There are no current plug-and-play adapters to use for wiring the taillights, turn signals, and backup lights with the new bed.

In order to be equipped with the parts you need, I recommend the 3-Piece Electrician Tool Set # PTW1714. This comes with wire cutters, a voltage reader, and a wire stripper. If you need just a voltage reader, I recommend the LCD Tester # PTW2992.

If you need heat butt connectors, those are the Deka Heat Shrink Butt Connectors - Qty. 10 # DW05743-10.
