I’m on the hunt for a replacement truck bed for my 2004 Chevy Silverado, and I’m hoping to tap into the community for some advice or leads. I’ve been scouring the local classifieds, online marketplaces, and even junkyards, but I haven’t had much luck so far.

Why I Need a New Truck Bed

The current bed on my Silverado has seen better days—it’s got some serious rust and a few dents from hauling materials over the years. I’ve thought about repairing it, but I’m leaning toward finding a replacement that’s in better shape.

What I’m Looking For

I’m specifically looking for:

  • A truck bed that fits a 2004 Chevy Silverado (preferably a short bed)
  • In good condition, with minimal rust or damage
  • Ideally, I’d prefer it to be in a specific color to match my truck, but I’m open to any option if the price is right.

Where I’ve Looked

Here’s a quick list of places I’ve checked:

  • Craigslist: Lots of listings, but no luck with my specific model.
  • Facebook Marketplace: A few potentials, but they are either too far away or way overpriced.
  • Local Salvage Yards: I visited one, and they didn’t have anything for my year.

Questions for the Community

  • Has anyone recently come across a 2004 Chevy Silverado bed for sale?
  • Are there any specific websites or forums I should check out for truck parts?
  • Any tips on how to negotiate a good price if I find one?

I’d greatly appreciate any insights or tips you can share. Thanks for your help!

Have you checked local salvage yards? They often have a variety of truck beds, and you can usually negotiate the price too!

That’s a great suggestion! I found mine at a local junkyard for a fraction of the price. Just make sure to check the condition carefully.

You can also look online on platforms like Craigslist or Facebook Marketplace. Just be cautious and ask for photos and more details before meeting up.

I’ve had mixed experiences with those. Always best to meet in a public place and bring a friend!

I’ve seen some good listings on eBay Motors too. It’s usually safer since you can see seller ratings and reviews.

Good point! Just be wary of shipping costs if you go that route, they can add up!

I recently bought a truck bed off a Facebook group dedicated to Chevy trucks. Try searching for groups in your area; it might yield some good contacts!

Thanks for that tip! I hadn’t thought of looking for dedicated groups; I’ll check it out!

Sometimes local auto repair shops can be good resources. They might know of clients parting out trucks or even be selling parts themselves!

11

That’s an interesting idea! I usually think of salvage yards but it’s worth a shot.

I’m looking for a 2004 Chevy Silverado truck bed too! Just remember to check the trim level, as the beds can vary across models. For example, the Classic 1500 and the regular 1500 might not be interchangeable.

Great point! Also, don’t forget about the short box versus long box options. They affect compatibility too!

14

There are so many differences! A buddy of mine got a bed that was supposedly compatible, but it didn’t fit right. Definitely do your research on year and model specs.

15

I can relate! It’s crucial to verify those details before making a purchase. Ask sellers for the VIN of the truck bed if possible.

Don’t forget about the chemical treatments on some beds, especially if you plan to use it for hauling heavy items. Some finishes can rust quicker than others depending on the model.

I found a bed on Craigslist, but it was for a different year! Compatibility can be tricky. Always confirm the year-make-model before taking the plunge.

18

Exactly! This isn’t a one-size-fits-all situation. Compatibility issues pop up all the time!

If I had a dollar for every time someone bought the wrong bed, I wouldn’t need to ask for leads! Ha! Ensure you check the measurements too.

Haha, so true! But I’m more interested in knowing where to get one! Any leads out there?
