Bushwacker Ultimate BedRail Caps - SmoothBack w/ Stake Holes | 2-Piece Set, Black, Smooth Finish | 48503 | Fits 2001-2006 Chevrolet/GMC Silverado/Sierra 1500/2500HD/3500 (Excludes Flareside)

I bought these bed caps because the reviews were good and they were touted as heavy duty. I am very satisfied with the fit and finish and on my truck bed they fit perfectly and stake bed holes align well. I would advise if you have never installed something like this before using VHBT (Very High Bond tape) that you do it carefully after cleaning the surface. This stuff really sticks. These improved the look of my truck considerably. The product is one thing, but I would recommend buying from this seller. I had to communicate with them and they were A+ in my top 5 for sure. I never go wrong with amazon, but this was exceptional even by those standards.

So easy to install. Great looking

Fit on truck bed is excellent. Product quality seems excellent. Whoever cuts the holes for the stakebed pockets at the factory needs to get fired. Totally uneven and not aligned. If you are using these with retractable stakebed tie downs order the solid caps and cut the holes yourself.

Best option on the market for early Silverados

Looks okay and works good but the holes for the bed rails don’t line up good and are short.

I really like how the rail caps cover up all the scratches on my 10 year old truck. It's a quality product and I'm glad I spent the extra few dollars. Here are a couple helpful hints for installation. 1. After all the prep outlined in the instructions, set the caps on the truck for about an hour during a sunny day. 2. While the caps are just placed temporarily, run some masking tape down the back of the rail (just above the tail light) and onto the truck. 3. Mark a line on the masking tape vertically. 4. Cut the tape at the seam between the truck and cap. Now you have an index mark. 5. Take the box that the rails came in and put it across the bed over the front stake holes. 6. Take all the backing tape off one rail and place the front of the rail on the box. This will prop it up, allowing you to get the back aligned without worrying about the front sticking before it is time. 7. Carefully position the back of the rail in place using the index marks. 8. Support the cap while removing the box and then guide it gently into place. I think it works best to make sure the inner lip is lined up because it doesn't have tape. Good luck. This is one of those things that should be best done first on your friend's truck because once you've done it one time you know what you're doing.

Ordered the Bushwacker bed rail caps thinking it was a no-brainer and while the bed rail caps arrived in a timely manner, the stake holes were off significantly, partially covering the front stake holes, on both sides of my very average 2003 Silverado extended cab w/6.5 ft bed. I called Bushwacker, answered numerous questions (including an inspector ID #149) and sent them the numerous pictures they requested and waited. Finally they said they could send out another set. I waited a week or better and called them again. Was told they were done and would be overnighted. They took two more days to arrive. I opened this package and immediately noted there was NO inspection sticker. Upon further inspection I saw that not only were the stake holes off again, this time the pieces both looked like they had been taken off the mold while still hot and the plastic was wavy in spots. I was also quite disappointed to find that the stake holes were roughly cut in vs being molded in and that the holes were quite large compared to the actual stake holes. I will say that their LOGO was LARGE and perfectly formed on each and every piece. ;-} Needless to say they are being returned and I'll be looking elsewhere for bed rail caps.

I work at a body shop and I highly recommend these. They fit great and the stake holes line up. They're very well made and have three pieces of double sided tape that go from one end to the other witch makes it easy to install. Simply start to pull a few inches of the backing off both ends. NEVER pull all the backing off. Plus these have two screws and clips to hold on the inside of bed.
