5th Wheel Trailer Hitch Installation Kit for a 2007 Chevy Silverado New Body Style
Question:
I have a 2007 Chev Silverado crew cab short box new body style. The box is 6 ft long, measuring the out side, but the charts seem to show a 5 1/2 ft box or 5 ft 8 inch on the reese website. Is this the right kit for me?

Expert Reply:
Chevy made a 5-1/2 foot bed and 6-1/2 foot bed for the 1500 models in the new body style for the 2007 model year. If you have a 2500 or 3500 series it would be a 6-1/2 foot bed.
If you do have a 1500 you can use universal installation kit # RP30035 in either bed length. And, for either bed length, you can use custom installation kit # RP50064-58. I have linked a video showing a typical installation of the custom kit for you.
The difference between the 2 kits is that the custom kit requires much less drilling and installs in less time when compared to the universal kit.
