I'm gonna check out Craftec's tonneaus. That looks like what I have in mind. I was looking at the Truxedo cover but yours looks to be totally flat with the top of the bed? The Truxedo has a very slight bevel and comes up less than an inch and they're about $500.

I am pleased with the cover. It fits very flush with a very very slight bow in the middle for water run off but it so slight you really dont notice it.
The Craftec was $300 to my front door.

They are factory buckets. You might check the classified on here or post a WTB thread.

Thanks for the input. Short of building my own, the Craftec seems to be the closest to what I'm looking for. In the pics I've seen of it, it looks to have an exposed aluminum piece at the front of the bed which must be part of the mounting hardware? Maybe a guy could scuff it and paint it satin black so it's not so noticeable.

I originally had planned to do that to mine but with the stainless trim on the back window it didnt look as out of place as I thought it would so I left it alone.

I've spent some time checking out covers, but seeing pics online isn't the same as seeing a tonneau on a truck in person. That said, the Craftec looks pretty good and I figure if it's good enough for that black truck it's certainly gonna be good enough for mine. (That is an exceptional C10).
Probably order it tomorrow. I'll post pics once it's on. Thanks again.

Yeah lets get this back on topic... I'd like to use this truck for my picture reference & as a tool to sell my truck in the future & all the above pics are going to be confusing.

Camaro_Red I missed the pics you posted of the interior dang it! You should start a build thread, let me know if you do I'd be in for sure! :metal:

Sorry if I assisted to side track your thread Justin that was not my intention. I am very curious what it would take to purchase your truck though if you have a number in mind? PM me if you would prefer to not advertise yet.

Thanks,
