Chevrolet Silverado Fender Flares

Short Bed vs. Long Bed Fender Flares

Short Bed

Long Bed

In most cases your truck bed size matters if you have a 2007+ Chevy Silverado. When selecting your vehicle our website will ask which truck bed size you have. If our website does not ask then that particular flare set will fit all truck bed sizes.

Why would this matter? For the short bed (roughly 5 ft. 9 in. or 69.3"), the gas cap is located very close to the fender flare edge. Some of the larger flare styles require a notch in the flare so that the flare will fit around the gas cap. This is what most people refer to as the "gas cap cut-out".

For the standard (6.5 foot) and long (8 foot) truck beds, the gas cap is far enough away from the fender edge that it does not require this cut-out.

2007 Classic vs New Body

Classic Body Style

New Body Style

In 2007, bucking normal production practices, Chevy decided to do a mid-year design change. This makes it a little more difficult when ordering, since a 2007 Silverado could mean 2 very different things. As a result, the older body style (based off the 2006) is called the Silverado Classic, whereas the new body style (based off the 2008) is simply called the Silverado (or "New Body" in some instances).

This only matters if you have a 2007. If you're not sure if your 2007 is the Classic or New Body style, the easiest way to tell is to take a look at your front head lights or your rear tail lights - compare that to the diagram and you'll be able to determine which you have.
