Stromberg Carlson 5th Wheel Tailgate Installation - 2007 Chevrolet Silverado Classic Video

We have a couple of fifth-wheel tailgates for your 2010 GMC Sierra 1500. One we offer is part #VGM-07-100. It is made of steel, and not aluminum. I have included a link to an installation video for this tailgate on a Sierra you can check out. The…

That particular tailgate fits up to the 2007 model year. For your 2008 Silverado, you would need part # VGM-07-100. This tailgate will fit your Silverado if it is equipped with the steel bed, but not the composite bed.

In order to determine the torque rating for the lug nuts on your trailer you will need to know check out the chart I attached that shows all of the torque specs for all the trailer lugs available based on stud size, wheel material and wheel size.
