The flaresides look pretty much the same to me from 2008 to 2009:

 

If you decide you want to try and locate one from a wrecking yard you can try this site: www.car-part.com Looks like there are some out there; kind of pricey though

 

I just noticed something, I have a 5 1/2ft bed, and the flareside only comes in 6 1/2ft lengths, I'm pretty sure that the 6 1/2 won't work. Does anyone know for sure??

 

nevermind, i chose for the year 09 and not 04-08.

 

...cheap and tacky, you mean??

 

i was just at my local wrecking yard today buying parts for the cheby(go figure, right? lol) and i saw a 6.5' one there and immediatly thought of this post. i asked at the desk and they said $2200 for it, and i searched their site just now and im givin the impression that they are all 6.5'

 

Yeah I don't think that there was ever a 5.5 flareside produced. At least I've never seen one so unless your screw has the 6.5 bed I doubt theres a workable solution since it has a longer wheelbase than the 5.5 bed model

 

Well if that's the case then I'll just keep what I have, thanks alot guys for yalls help. I'm sure I'll find something else to buy for her.

 

I'm picking up my 2009 XLT Super Crew 6 1/2' Flareside, after work tommorow. It was the dealerships vice presidents demo and has yet to be titled. Got it for a steal. Only 3000 miles on it. I'll post some pics when I get a chance to take some. Bad weather is expected for the next few days.

I just joined the forum tonight. Traded a 97 XLT with 199K on it. It was time for a new toy.

 

awsome man, congrats. welcome to the forum!
