Question:
I have a 2003 gmc 3500 that was ordered as a cab and chassis truck no box. I had a shop install a set of helper bags on it years ago and after looking at it, he welded a bunch of the brackets on it as he said the rear design was different and thats why the welding. Do they make a bolt on set for this truck. The current bags are leaking and due to the welding, you cant just replace the bags without cutting everything off of it. Please let me know.
