Pronghorn truck beds are a popular choice for Chevy Silverado HD owners who want a solid steel flatbed or truck bed without paying a premium price. At Star Truck Equipment in Wharton, TX, we install Pronghorn truck beds on Chevy Silverado 2500HD and 3500HD trucks — both SRW and DRW — for farmers, ranchers, contractors, and working truck owners across South Texas.
Why Pronghorn on a Chevy Silverado HD?
Pronghorn builds straightforward, well-made steel truck beds and flatbeds at a competitive price point. They’re not the flashiest brand in the market, but Texas truck buyers know that Pronghorn flatbeds are solid, practical, and built to handle daily ranch and farm work without complaint. For Silverado 2500HD and 3500HD owners who need a working truck — not a show truck — Pronghorn makes a lot of sense.
Pronghorn Models for Chevy Silverado HD
Silverado 2500HD (SRW)
The Chevy Silverado 2500HD is a 3/4-ton heavy-duty pickup available in regular cab, double cab, and crew cab configurations. For a flatbed conversion:
- Regular Cab 2500HD: Longer CA — typically takes an 8′ to 9′ Pronghorn flatbed
- Crew Cab 2500HD: Shorter CA — 7′ to 8′ Pronghorn flatbed is most common
- Bed width: 84″ standard for SRW trucks — fits within rear track width cleanly
Silverado 3500HD SRW and DRW
The Silverado 3500HD is available in both SRW and DRW (dually) configurations, giving you flexibility in bed sizing:
- 3500HD SRW: 84″ wide Pronghorn flatbed, 8′ to 9′ body — great for contractors and light farm use
- 3500HD DRW (dually): 90″–96″ wide Pronghorn flatbed, 8′ to 9.5′ body — the workhorse setup for heavy hauling, gooseneck towing, and ranch work in South Texas
Pronghorn Flatbed Features

Pronghorn vs Other Brands on Chevy Silverado HD
We also carry CM, Norstar, Bedrock, Bradford Built, NXG, and Aluma truck beds for Chevy Silverado. Pronghorn keeps a simple, open design that’s easy to load and easy to modify. If you want a wider model range, CM’s TM or RD series flatbeds are worth comparing. If you want aluminum, Aluma is your choice.
