Yes but the newer dodge/ford covers have a year break that they change. Make sure it says "ford/chevy/dodge". For what it's worth that one looks like the right bolt pattern.

In the prduct discription it says for older models, nothing about chevy though.

It will work. Yukon has one similar, might be a little better quality for a little more. The reviews for that one from what I could see weren't good. The fill plug doesn't tighten, goes on through? Thin metal might be ok for a street queen, and the chrome doesn't hold up.

I was able to order a Yukon for $53.00 through auto zone and it will be in Tuesday.

:cheers: Post back what you think of the quality. Even the stock cover is pretty heavy duty, I would be afraid to smash something thin as fender metal on a rock out in the middle of nowhere.

The stock did take a hit and the gear ate through it. I noticed it when changing the front tire. I had changed the fluids very recently and the gear oil that was left still looked new, no metal shavings. Everything still looks good other than the over.

Wow that cover looks much thinner than mine. Mine looks like it's about 1/8" thick. Hopefully the new one will be a good upgrade.

I picked it up today and it does seem thicker.
