Fitment, Shipping & Product Support
Verified Fitment
This slide fits the 2019 and newer Chevrolet Silverado 1500 and GMC Sierra 1500 with the 6.5-foot standard bed. The 78-inch platform was developed for the redesigned T1-generation bed interior that debuted on the 2019 Silverado and Sierra — it does not fit any prior generation. If your truck is a 2018 or earlier model, the correct silver SKU for the 6.5-foot GM bed is 15-7548-CG (75" x 48").
| Make | Model | Confirmed Years | Bed Length | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Chevrolet | Silverado 1500 | 2019–current | 6.5 ft | All cab configurations with 6.5' bed |
| GMC | Sierra 1500 | 2019–current | 6.5 ft | All cab configurations with 6.5' bed |
Fitment is bed-length and generation dependent. The 2019+ Silverado/Sierra is also available with a 5.8-foot short bed — that application takes 15-6848-CG (68" x 48" silver). Confirm your bed length before ordering.

| Item | Notes |
|---|---|
| BSA-GM7895 no-drill kit | This kit fits 2019+ Silverado/Sierra 6.6'/8' beds but is not compatible with the Contractor tier — Bedslide's own product page confirms compatibility with Classic (1,000 lb) and S-model Bedslides only. Drilling is required for this SKU. Do not purchase BSA-GM7895 expecting it to work with 15-7848-CG. |
| BSA-SPACEBLKIT tailgate step clearance kit | Required if slide does not clear the tailgate or truck has a MultiPro/MultiFlex integrated step. Sold separately. |
| BedBin accessory system | BedBin deck dividers, Mini Kix, Side Kix, and Upper Tray (48" and 58" versions) attach via BedTrax T-slots — sold separately in both silver and black finish. |
| Professional installation labor | Dealer installation recommended — labor not included. |
Critical Compatibility
| System / Condition | Interaction | Action Required |
|---|---|---|
| BSA-GM7895 no-drill kit — NOT compatible with this SKU | Bedslide's product page for BSA-GM7895 confirms compatibility with Classic and S-model only. The Contractor tier requires drilling regardless of finish. | Do not purchase BSA-GM7895 for use with 15-7848-CG. Budget for drilling. |
| 2019+ Silverado/Sierra generation split | Pre-2019 Silverado/Sierra 6.5'/6.6' bed takes 75" platform (15-7548-CG). At 2019 the interior changed — 2019+ requires the 78" platform. Ordering wrong is a non-returnable fitment error. | Confirm model year is 2019 or newer before ordering. |
| MultiPro Tailgate (GMC Sierra) / MultiFlex Tailgate (Chevrolet Silverado) | Multi-function tailgates include integrated step panels that deploy inward. Slide may contact step when extended. | Purchase BSA-SPACEBLKIT if clearance is insufficient. Test tailgate operation with slide extended before finalizing mount position. |
| Spray-in / drop-in bedliners | Installation over bedliners not recommended per Bedslide. Liner thickness and surface vary. | Remove or modify liner before installation. |
| Silver finish and work environments | Silver WeatherDeck composite performs identically to black in all weather and load conditions. Surface contamination (mud, oil, scratches) is more visible on silver than black — relevant consideration for high-use commercial applications. | No functional action required — cosmetic consideration only. Both finishes carry identical warranty. |
| Tonneau covers and truck caps | No confirmed compatibility data. Cover clearance depends on profile and 4.5-inch deck height addition. | Verify with your cover manufacturer before ordering. |
No confirmed electrical, ADAS, or OEM technology system conflicts for this product.
Installation Notes
Complexity: Intermediate. Dealer installation recommended by Bedslide.
Estimated time: Approximately 1 hour per Bedslide source data.
Install method: Drilled mount. Four ½-inch holes required in the truck bed floor. This is not a no-drill installation — BSA-GM7895 is incompatible with the Contractor tier. Permanent bed modification.
Required tools:
| Tool | Required |
|---|---|
| Drill | Yes |
| ½-inch drill bit | Yes |
| Riv nut tool | Yes (included in hardware kit) |
| ½-inch socket and ratchet | Yes |
| ½-inch open-end wrench | Yes |
| Allen wrench | Yes |
| Tape measure | Yes |
| Marker | Yes |
What makes it complex:
- At 190 lb, a second person is required for safe positioning — do not attempt solo.
- Drilling four ½-inch holes into the bed floor is permanent. Center the unit between wheel wells and confirm 1.5-inch clearance at the bulkhead before marking holes.
- Do not use air impact tools on riv nuts — hand-install only.
- MultiPro / MultiFlex tailgate owners must confirm step panel clearance before finalizing mount position.
- Bedliner presence requires removal or adjustment before install.
Post-install: No alignment, calibration, or dealer visit required. Cycle the slide under partial load and confirm all locking positions engage at correct intervals before full-load use.
Shipping: 78-inch Contractor model ships LTL freight. Residential delivery included. OFAS will contact you after order placement to coordinate delivery.
Common Questions
This is $287 less than the black version (15-7848-CGB). What's different?
Bedslide's published pricing shows the silver Contractor at $1,834 vs. the black at $2,121 for an identical 78" x 48" platform, identical 1,500 lb capacity, identical 2+4 bearing configuration, and identical warranty. The price difference reflects Bedslide's own pricing structure between finish variants — there is no functional or structural difference. Silver delivers the same specs at a confirmed lower cost.
The no-drill kit shows up as a suggestion for this truck — can I use it?
No. The BSA-GM7895 no-drill kit for 2019+ Silverado/Sierra 6.6'/8' beds is explicitly rated for Classic (1,000 lb) and S-model Bedslides only. Bedslide's own product page states this restriction. Drilling four ½-inch holes is required for 15-7848-CG. If avoiding bed modification is a priority, the Classic tier (10-7848-CLS silver, same 78" x 48" platform, 1,000 lb) is no-drill kit compatible and $600+ less expensive.
My Silverado is a 2018 — what fits?
The 2018 and earlier Silverado/Sierra 6.5'/6.6' bed takes the 75" x 48" platform — SKU 15-7548-CG (silver). The 2019 generation redesign changed the bed interior dimensions, which is why 15-7848-CG exists as a separate SKU from 15-7548-CG.
I have a Sierra with the MultiPro Tailgate — any concerns with silver vs. black?
None specific to finish. Both versions sit at 4.5 inches above the bed floor — clearance is a platform concern, not a finish concern. BSA-SPACEBLKIT resolves clearance issues if the inner step panel contacts the slide when extended.
What is the warranty?
5-year standard warranty. Lifetime warranty available upon product registration with Bedslide. Register immediately after installation.
The Obsidian Take
This slide is for the 2019-and-newer Silverado 1500 or Sierra 1500 owner with a 6.5-foot bed who needs 1,500 lb contractor-tier capacity and either prefers silver finish or is working the price angle — at $287 less than the black sibling on identical specs, silver is the straightforward choice when finish preference is neutral or favorable to silver.
It is not for the buyer who wants to avoid drilling — the no-drill kit for this application is incompatible with the Contractor tier. If no-drill installation is a firm requirement, the Classic tier (10-7848-CLS, same 78" x 48" platform, 1,000 lb, no-drill kit compatible) is the correct alternative. It is not for the 2018-or-earlier GM truck owner — that truck takes 15-7548-CG. And it is not for anyone whose loads exceed 1,500 lb — the Heavy Duty tier (20-7848-HD silver) covers that on the same platform.
The finish is silver. The specs are identical to the black version. The price is $287 lower. Buy based on finish preference and budget — not on any functional difference between the two.
