I’ve been on the hunt for a truck bed for my 2007 Chevy Silverado and I’m hoping to gather some advice from others who might have been in a similar situation.

What I’m Looking For

I’m specifically looking for a replacement truck bed, but I’m not sure if I should go for a new one or look for a used option. Here are some specifics:

  • Condition: I prefer something in good condition, but I’m open to minor repairs or refurbishment.
  • Color: Ideally matching my current truck color, but I’ll consider any options that are affordable.
  • Extras: If anyone knows where to find accessories like liners or covers, that would be great too!

Where Have You Looked?

I’ve checked eBay and Craigslist, and I’ve found a few options, but I’m cautious about purchasing online. If you have had any good or bad experiences with certain sellers or platforms, please share.

Local Shops vs Online

I’m also considering local auto parts shops. Are there any trusted places I should check out in the area? I’ve heard some horror stories, so I’m a bit wary. Any recommendations would be super helpful.

Questions to Consider

  • Is it worth investing in a new truck bed, or are used ones reliable enough?
  • What are the common issues to look for when buying a used truck bed?
  • Are there specific brands or types that fit better with the 2007 model?

Thanks in advance for your help! Looking forward to your insights!

That’s a solid choice, Danielle! Also, Facebook Marketplace is becoming popular for local deals. I found a toolbox there once.

Have you checked junkyards? Some of them list their inventory online now. You might score a good deal on a used bed.

Great suggestion! I also found a local salvage yard that specializes in Chevy parts. Try calling them directly!

You could also try eBay! They have a variety of sellers, and you might find some traders who have what you need.

Good point! Just be aware of shipping costs if you’re not local. Sometimes it adds up!

I’ve seen some people score good deals on truck beds from local auto parts groups on Facebook. Definitely check that out.

That’s a great idea! These groups are often filled with enthusiasts who might just be letting go of spare parts.

If you’re comfortable with some DIY, you could always look for a bed that needs a little TLC. It’ll usually be cheaper.

Exactly! A little paint and some repairs can make a used bed look new. Plus, it’s fun to work on!

Just be cautious about rust; it’s a common problem. Inspect any used bed thoroughly before buying.

True! It can be tricky. A little rust on the surface is fine, but you don’t want structural issues.

Anyone tried searching on OfferUp? I’ve heard some good success stories there too.

I’m also looking for a truck bed for my 2007 Silverado! I’ve heard that the most reliable options are typically made of aluminum or fiberglass. Anyone have experience with those?

I agree! I personally have an aluminum bed and it’s held up remarkably well against rust and dents. Prices can vary quite a bit though; I got mine for around $1,200.

I’ve seen some decent prices on beds made of steel too, but they can be heavier. It really depends on what you’re using it for! Any recommendations on brands?

There are some great aftermarket options available, but I recommend checking Thule or Dee Zee. Quality seems consistent with them, and I’ve had good experiences.

Those brands are solid! I got my Dee Zee bed for my Silverado, and it’s been extremely durable through rough weather and heavy loads.
