tonneau covers

[kgc4160]

thinking about a cover for my 81.. looking for recommendations.. also any pics would help.. want it to cover the stake holes

I wanted a Snuglid years ago, but I needed the opposite. I wanted the tonneau to fit between the rails not over them. My stake holes have been welded flush.
Snugtop still makes a cover for 73-87 shortbed. The snuglid covers the bed rails.

I never found a tonneau I liked.

Jogging this thread. Got a long bed ‘78 c10, looking for a tonneau cover that is low profile and aesthetically clean, yet functional. Lotta brands out there, would love to hear from folks who have them.

The coolest cover(not very functional) that I have ever seen was on my dads C10 longbed. It was a leather looking(I was young when I saw it) cover that snapped down the sides of the bed and had a big red(Black truck, Black cover) chevy emblem embroidered in the middle.

Sounds pretty sweet. I’m looking for something a bit more functional. Easy access both by the tailgate and by the cab. I’ve got a toolbox, but one that sits below the bed rails.

why does the flush weld matter? I want one that covers the rails myself. I think the tonoroll sits inside and the tonofold goes on top. I have been thinking about the fold myself.

East, you'll probably need a rolling, panel or fabric tonneau. The solid panel style will limit your access to your toolbox.
This is the one I really wanted but couldn't afford it. Benchmark custom aluminum tonneau with bearclaw latches. Sport Truck magazine Dec 1993

Eskimo, The reason for me wanting a flush tonneau is an appearance issue. I didn't want to see the tonneau from the side. I wanted it flush with the bed rails. My stake holes on the bed rails have been filled..I didn't want to hide that.

New cars suck, New movies and TV shows suck, New music sucks and even newer generation kids suck(I know, I have 4). I pine for some good old 90s.

Yeah. That’s the one I’m eyeballing. I like the looks and the coverage. And I want to embroider it at some point.

I’m eagerly awaiting your review

I also crack myself up. I’m like ooohh that’s too much money right now. Then I drop 200 on cigars. LOL
