Expert Answers about Chevrolet Truck Bed Storage


  • Can Du-Ha Humpstor Truck Bed Storage Box Lid Open to the Inside and/or Outside of Truck Bed
  • I checked with Duha and the Du-Ha Humpstor Truck Bed Storage Box and Gun Case # DU70200 that you referenced can be installed so that the lid of the box opens toward the inside of the truck bed or with the lid opening toward the outside of the truck bed. I attached an install video for you to check out as well.

  • Can The Viking Solutions Rack Jack Hoist Be Broken Down For Storage In The Bed Of A Truck
  • The Viking Solutions Rack Jack Magnum Hoist # 310-VMH001 can be completely broken down for storage and will not take up very much space. This will not be an issue with your Deck system and I did include a picture of the part as it will come to you. The winch can be left on the upright though, so you will not have to do a full rebuild every time you need to use it.

  • Recommendation for Securing a DeeZee Specialty Series Storage Box In a 2011 Ford Ranger
  • To install this DeeZee Specialty Series Storage Box # DZ6535P in the bed of your 2011 Ford Ranger you will require drilling through the box and the truck bed and then installing hardware of your choice. I would use at least 4, 3/8 inch Grade 5 or higher bolts, two washers on each bolt, one inside the box and one outside the bed, and nuts, along with Loctite 242, # LT37418, to be sure the nuts do not work loose. The location of the mounting hardware is strictly up to you and should be located...

  • Installing DeeZee Specialty Series Chest Style Plastic Storage Box DZ6537P in 2015 Silverado
  • The DeeZee Specialty Series Chest Style Plastic Storage Box # DZ6537P is intended for use as a free-standing storage box so it does not include any mounting hardware. There are certainly many potential ways to mount it to a truck bed. You can use hardware the goes through the bottom of the box into the bed (provided there are no under-bed clearance issues at your mounting location) or you could use any number of other methods, such as a crossbar between the bed rails that holds the box...

  • Can the Du-Ha Humpstor Truck Bed Storage Box be Installed to Open Either Way in a Truck Bed
  • The Du-Ha Humpstor # DU70200 was designed to be installed to open either way. The customer pictures and our video show the Du-ha Humpstor # DU70200 opening at the inside of the bed but the manufacturer photo shows it opening at the outside so you could access the contents if standing outside of the truck bed. So you can mount it which ever way works best for you.

  • Can a 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch be Installed on an International 4300 Truck with a Utility Service Bed
  • It is possible to install a 5th wheel hitch in a truck that has a service bed depending on the type of service bed. If the service bed is the type that has all the doors and storage on the sides and is much larger than a regular side rails on a truck bed, you will not be able to install a 5th wheel hitch. If the service bed is more like a flat bed, it is possible to install a hitch. It would be a custom installation that would have to be performed by a qualified professional. The hitch...

  • Installing Truck Bed Extender #BX4004-02 on 1998 Toyota Tacoma with Factory Tail Gate Cover
  • I reccomend the Curt # C57WR Universal Truck Bed Exender which will fit nearly all full size pickup trucks including Chevrolet, GMC, Ford, Dodge, Ram, and Nissan, with standard 60" wide tail gates. (6.5 foot and longer beds) and provide 36-1/2 inches of additional bed length for storage and hauling. May not work with flare-style tailgates. Compatible with most tonneau covers. I think your bed may be too narrow as the Tacoma was not a full size back in 1998

  • Would Adco AquaShed Truck Bed Camper 290-12263 Fit Bigfoot 3000 Series 30C10 Camper
  • The Adco SFS AquaShed truck bed camper cover part # 290-12263 would be a great cover for your Bigfoot 3000 Series 30C10 that measures 18 foot 4 inches. It would be a little bit longer than you'd need but it wouldn't be so big that it wouldn't fit well. It also has straps and cinches which allow the slack to be taken up a bit.

  • How to Secure B&W 25K 5th Wheel Hitch to Puck System on 2022 Chevy Silverado 3500
  • Of course! You can actually lock the B&W Companion # BWRVK3715 to the OEM puck system on your 2022 Chevy Silverado 3500 using a padlock that has a shackle diameter of 5/16", a height of 3", and a width of 2-1/4". Once you have the 5th wheel in place in the pucks you will use the padlock to secure the levers for the legs as opposed to the pin and clips that come with the hitch. Another measure of security that you guys can take is adding a tonneau cover to your truck. If you get a hard...

  • Will BAKFlip MX4 Tonneau Cover Restrict Trunk Access on 2022 Honda Ridgeline
  • The BAKFlip MX4 Hard Tonneau Cover # BAK48602 is a great option for your 2022 Honda Ridgeline, and I especially like the matte black finish. I will number my answers to match your questions: 1. The drain tubes will fit in the same plugs that are already existing on your truck. You can either remove the plugs or you can drill a 7/8" hole through the plastic plug if you'd rather go that route (see attached photo from instructions). 2. You will be able to still open up the trunk in the bed...

  • Do I Have to Have a Sliding 5th Wheel Hitch in a Short Bed Truck
  • You do not have to use a sliding 5th wheel hitch in a short bed truck. In many cases, truck beds shorter than 8 ft do not have enough clearance between the trailer and truck to execute sharp turns. This is why sliding hitches were invented. Due to the popularity of short bed trucks, trailer manufacturers started making more 5th wheel trailers with angled or indented noses so they do not contact your truck cab when turning such as the Highland Ridge Light 5th wheel trailer. The downside...

  • Spare Tire Optional Modification for Installing Torklift Hitch on Short Bed 2012 Ram 3500HD
  • For the short bed models of the 2012 Ram 3500HD if you have a 17 inch diameter spare tire it will get stowed about 2 inches lower after the installation is complete. This lower storage height has been tested and does not present any ground, exhaust or differential clearance issues. In the event that the original spare tire stowage position is preferred, the spare tire locator loop can be removed. Simply remove the loop by cutting on the marks shown below. Apply a good quality rust inhibiting...

  • Location of Hole for B&W Gooseneck Hitch on 2019 Chevy Silverado 2500 Short Bed
  • When installing the B&W Turnoverball Gooseneck Trailer Hitch # BWGNRK1016 on your 2019 Chevy Silverado 2500 short bed the center of the 4 inch hole will be located 44-3/4 inches from the rear of the truck bed. I have attached an image from the installation manual that you can use for reference. This gooseneck trailer hitch is confirmed to fit your Silverado and the hitch ball can be flipped upside down and dropped into the hitch for storage when not in use for a completely clean bed....

  • Installing B&W Turnoverball Underbed Gooseneck Trailer Hitch on 2017 Ford F-250
  • The B&W Turnoverball Underbed Gooseneck Trailer Hitch # BWGNRK1116 referenced in your question is confirmed to fit your 2017 Ford F-250 4WD with a 6-3/4 foot bed. The installation process will be extremely similar to the Ford F-350 installation video that you mentioned, which I have also linked for you to review again. This hitch includes a custom mounting kit for your truck that will allow you to install the frame brackets without needing to drill into the frame. There should be no "curveballs"...

  • Does the Pop&Lock Still Allow Your Tailgate to Be Manually Unlocked
  • The Pop&Lock Custom Tailgate Lock # PL6200 comes with 2 keys included for the tailgate locking mechanism, so you'll never be locked out if for some reason the power lock failed. The Pop&Lock is a great solution to provide a secure storage space on your truck bed when paired with a tonneau cover or camper shell. I attached a photo that shows the lock that is built into the handle, which will be operated by the included keys.

  • Can etrailer eDream Mattress part # e37FR Fold
  • None of our mattresses were really designed to fold. If it was a slight bend or fold the etrailer eDream part # e37FR would be okay but if it's a significant bend it would not work.

  • Does Spare Tire have to be Moved to Install a Trailer Hitch on 1992 Chevy S-10 with Roll Pan Bumper
  • According to Curt, when installing trailer hitch # 13920 on a 1992 Chevy S-10 with the factory roll pan bumper you only have to relocate the spare tire if the truck is a short bed model (6 foot bed). I have included a link to the installation instructions for you. This is the only hitch for models with the roll pan bumper. If you plan on doing some towing I recommend etrailer ball mount kit # 989900. It comes with 2 ball mounts; one with a 3/4 inch rise or 2 inch drop and one with a 2-3/4...

  • Will Spare Tire have to be Moved to Install Curt Trailer Hitch 13028 on a 1985 Chevy C-10 Short Bed
  • I will be happy to help you out. Curt trailer hitch # 13028 for your 1985 Chevy C-10 will likely fit without modifying the spare tire hanger/location provided that the tire size is a stock size and not an aftermarket larger size. If it is a larger than stock size then it is possible that modifications would need to be made or the spare would need to be carried in the bed of the truck. Thus far no one has complained about the spare tire being an issue. If you plan on doing some towing you...
