I contacted the manufacturer regarding whether you can switch your current cover from your 2021 Chevrolet 3500 with standard bed over to your 2022 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 short bed using shorter side rails. They said that it unfortunately can not be done. They said that in addition to having a shorter bed, the 1500 bed is also slightly more narrow. So you would be trying to put a cover that would end up being too wide onto your new truck.

You would have to get a whole new cover. The Pace Edwards Switchblade Retractable Hard Tonneau Cover # 311-SWCA27A58 is the correct Switchblade cover for your 2022 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 with short bed.
