There was a large enough change to the tailgates and truck beds between the 2007 and 2008 Chevy Silverados that a tailgate from one would not fit the other. So what that means for you is that for your 2004 Silverado you'd need the # VGM-99-4000 you referenced and would not be able to transfer a 2008 tailgate to the truck.

Yes, the puck system used on the 2016-2019 Chevy/GMC trucks is different than the pucks used on the 2020 and newer trucks. So you would need a 5th wheel like the B&W Companion #BWRVK3710 for your 2020 GMC Sierra 3500 with an 8' Bed. If you…

Hey Jerry, GM moved the placement of their puck systems starting with 2020 models so you are correct that the pucks would have the hitch not sit directly over the axle. GM did the math and made sure that this placement wouldn't adversely affect…

To know if your 2017 Ford F-350 has an in-bed puck system installed you'll just need to look and see if you have four rounded attachment points (usually covered up when not in use, like in the attached picture). If you don't see these in your…

Great questions! Reese actually makes the OEM puck system for Ford so if the 2022 F-250 is cheaper by a lot then I recommend going that route and installing the Under-Bed Rail and Installation Kit #RP87FR. The only thing you'll really be missing…

Hey Craig, yes the leg kit part #e89PR that you referenced will work to adapt the head of a Curt A20 hitch to fit the OEM pucks of your 2024 Chevy Silverado 3500. How'd you like your A20 hitch?
