Post by: 1987ScottsdaleGuy on September 09, 2012, 03:17:16 pm: Ive sifted through every part store and they allllll want to call and check pricing and i don't want to call and check.. can i have some rough estimations on prices for hard soft, etc idc what type of bed cover. Opinions are better covers... hard,soft,etc...

Also what is the cheapest? not the ones that wrap around the bumper that are like $30 and have straps... i want a good looking one. Also some pics with covers would be cool. Thanks!

Post by: 1982 Daily Driver on September 10, 2012, 12:10:28 pm: Try this company I researched it about 3 or 4 years ago just haven't done anything about it. This is the only flush mount hard top i could find not sure if still in business or not.

Post by: 454Man on September 10, 2012, 01:29:49 pm: I tried the two #s the company listed as contacts and they are no good maybe if someone lives in farmersville they can let us know if the owners still in business. I also tried to google the addresses next to for numbers but still no luck from google maps.

Post by: 1987ScottsdaleGuy on September 10, 2012, 07:08:59 pm: man that soft tonneau looks good! $270 is a little steep for me right now though, but nonetheless looks great

Post by: bluecrew on September 13, 2012, 03:26:06 pm: I dig that truck, and the look of the tonneau cover on there. I will be doing the same. Imitation is the highest form of flattery...

Post by: 78 Chevyrado on September 15, 2012, 04:23:09 pm: IT was $40 or $50 more than the snap version. The ziploc attatchment on tmine is worth every penny, and also how they did the rear rail. It snaps free and stays with the vinyl top when you roll it up.

The only hard cover I've been able to find period for a squarebody is made by gaylord and only fits shortbeds. but it is a hard tonneau that hangs over the sides.

So as far as I know, its either a hard gaylord or a soft tonneau of which there are 7 or 8 choices.

Post by: 1980c10 on September 18, 2012, 01:51:57 pm: I have a soft top that sits between the rails, it is made by Access, Laredo is the model. Cost about $430, pricey but I consider the fact that i'll have it forever and wanted the best soft cover I could find. Its a great cover and the roll up feature is the way to go. You can find great demonstration videos on their website. I won't buy a hard cover because they are difficult to remove to haul something. When you do remove them; you need a place to store it as well.
