...specifically for the 01-07 GMT-800 classic body styles. I'm winterizing the truck and found THESE. I'm curious how much of the front and rear of the wheel well they cover. Trying to decide weather to buy these or just make some custom internal panels to keep road debris from getting packed under the bed.

I know liners are made for the 07-up trucks, but didnt know anyone had designed a set for the 99-07s. Would be nice to have.

Guess you could buy a set and see what's up with them and report back. ;)

My LLY has a small splash guard attached to the rear quarter. I thought it was odd when I had the bed off to paint the frame and put the b&w in. seems to me they are just another spot for salt to sit but I haven't had the truck threw a winter yet.

Fwiw, my LMM has the rear liners. I have had them out a time or two and there isn't any evidence of deposits or build up of any kind. I was worried about them holding salt and grime but they haven't at all

I was so close to the edge on buying them but I figured I would run it by you fabulous people and see if we had any personal inputs. I've installed numerous sets on the GMT-900 trucks when I worked at the dealer and was excited to see a company offering them for the classic body style. Had the first snow here in town and the race truck see's a LOT of road salt, slush, snow, mud, you name it... Looking to make it survive these Colorado winters.

I went ahead and ordered a pair. Figured they will help regardless and will save me from undercoating the wheelwells. Plus if they still don't hang down low enough it just means I have to make smaller panels to fill the gaps. It'll hide the ugly goosneck brackets as well. I'll just have to notch out a spot for the lever.

Sorry a little off topic but I thought Colorado just used sand. Seemed to me the older vehicles I saw there were WAY cleaner than the ones around here.

Let us know how it goes. I'd be interested in them also. Especially with a lift it would clean it up some.

X2 on the lever haha

It's actually worse. Besides sand they use tanks and tanks of mag chloride. Coats everything in a crappy white film and makes a lot of chassis bolts horrible to remove. And with how many yuppies that moved into this state since the pot legalization I'm sure they'll be triple coating the roads this winter.

They should be here in a week or so! Along with some new mudflaps. I'll let you guys know how they turn out!

Received and installed!!! Wish I would have done them from day one! The fit is super tight just like the GM ones for the new body style. They utilize the two bolts that secure the fender support rods. Holes line up perfectly! For trucks with the factory wheel flares the instructions say to remove all the factory pushpins, then after installation it says to drill holes into the liner through the original holes and install new supplied push pins. The liners fit so tight that I didn't even bother messing with the push pins.

Used a heat gun to gently mold the liners around the one gooseneck bracket in the front. Then just trimmed a bit for the large bolt in the back and for the release lever to fit through. Tight fit for the lever but it still works perfectly :thumb:

Yup exact ones! Ordered off of Amazon. Two factory original bolts and some pushpins hold them in just like the GM factory ones on the '07+ NBS. Almost exact same reason why I got them as I'm getting a FASS soon and plan on mounting my second battery under the bed on the outside of the frame rail. I hate road splash!
