Expert Answers about Chevrolet Truck Bed Storage


  • Is the CE Smith Ball Mount Storage Bag # CE27481 Padded
  • CE Smith Ball Mount Storage Bag # CE27481 has some padding but if you had to power slide around a corner effectively sending the ball mount and bag across the truck bed the mere fact that ball mounts are heavy and metal could be enough to ding the truck bed. With that said under normal conditions and everyday driving I do not anticipate that you would have any problem!

I have attached a short video demonstration on this product that you can also take a look at.

  • Fifth Wheel King Pin Weight and Truck Payload Capacity
  • The hitch pin weight of 1400 lbs you stated is so close to your payload capacity, but that is not accounting for the 5th wheel hitch and rail weights or the loaded weight with cargo added. Tunda's are notorious for having a lower payload and in this case, I can't tell you it will be fine. The payload weight is spread out over the truck bed where the 5th wheel rails are mounted to the frame directly so are more secure. Unfortunately manufacturers don't test for the 5th Wheel Hitch weight...

  • What Gauge Steel Are the B&W Truck Cab Protectors/Headache Racks Made From
  • I spoke with my contact and B&W and the Custom Headache Rack # BWPUCP7500WA is made of 10 gauge steel except for the flat plates that attach to the bed sides. Those are 7 gauge. This rack is not tested with toolboxes or tonneau covers so it is difficult to determine if it will work in conjunction with those items. It likely will not work if the tonneau cover blocks the lip in the inner part of the bed sides.

  • The Stromberg Carlson 100 Series 5th Wheel Tailgate # VGM-88-100 you found is an all steel construction. This particular tailgate is for 1988-2000 Chevrolet/GMC Fleetside truck beds.
