• How to Determine the Difference Between the New and Classic Body Styles for a 2007 Chevy Silverado
  The easiest way to tell the difference between the 2007 Chevy Silverado Classic and New Body Style is the tail gate or the tail lights. The new body style will have a large Chevy bow tie emblem in the center of the tail gate. It will also have red tail light assemblies. Take a look at the parts I have linked that show the new body style and the classic body style. If you have a classic model, you will need to use # VGM-99-4000. I do not believe the new body applied to the 2500 and 3500...

• Replacement Rear Bumper For A 2001 Chevy Silverado 1500HD
  Hi Al, It unfortunately looks like Westin no longer offers a rear bumper for a 2001 Chevy Silverado 1500 HD. They only have the Westin Perfect Match Series Rear Step Bumper # 31006, which is a fit for standard 1500 models with a fleetside bed. You can try reaching out to Westin to see if they might still be able to point you in the right direction.

• Recommended Fifth Wheel Tailgates For 2008 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 Pickup

• Is Rear Bumper of 2002 Chevy Silverado 1500 Different From 2500HD
  The bumper fits between a 2002 Chevy Silverado 2500HD and a 2002 Chevy Silverado 1500 are different. For example for the 1500 we have the part # 31006 and for the 2500HD models we have the # 31010. They key difference seems to be the brackets since the frames of the trucks are different.

• How to Tell the Difference Between 2007 Chevy or GMC Silverado or Sierra Old and New Body Styles
  To determine if your 2007 GMC Sierra is the old or the new body style all you have to do is look at the back of the truck. If it is the old body style (Classic) then it will have amber turn signal lenses at the rear tail lights. New body style models will not have amber lenses and will also have a large logo in the center of the tailgate. I have included a picture showing old and new body styles side by side. The trucks are Silverados but the same differences apply to the Sierras. If...

  In order to determine if a tailgate from a 2006 GMC Sierra 2500 fits a 2006 Chevy Silverado 1500, it truly depends on the tailgate model. For example, both tailgates we carry that are confirmed to fit a 2006 GMC Sierra 2500 are confirmed to also fit a 2006 Chevy Silverado 1500.

• Would Fifth Wheel Tailgate from 2008 Chevy Silverado Fit on 2004 Chevy Silverado
  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.

• Will a Bumper from a 2006 Chevy Silverado 2500HD Fit a 2002 Silverado 2500HD
  The first generation of the Chevy Silverado includes latter half 1999 to 2006 models as well as 2007 Classic models. So a 2002 Silverado 2500 and a 2006 Silverado 2500 will have the same body style and should be able to use the same bumper. We also carry bumpers for your 2002 Silverado. I have included a link to them for you. I recommend the Perfect Match in chrome # 31013.

• 1999 Chevy Silverado Bumper Compatibility with 2005 Chevy Silverado
  Yes, a Chevy Silverado bumper from 1999 will fit a 2005 model. For instance, the Westin Perfect Match Series Rear Step Bumper - Chrome Plated Steel # 31006 is a fit for both 1500 and 2500 LD trucks, but is not a fit for 2500 and 3500 HD trucks. You would need to do some custom brackets for the HD models for the 1999 bumper to fit your 2005 as we don't have a fit for a 1999 Heavy Duty truck. If you have a the 2500 or 3500 model for 2005 you may consider the custom fit # 31013.
