Gaylord Bed Covers
 

I'm thinking about getting one of these for my truck. Anyone else on here have any pictures of these installed? Also, do you recommend any other companies?

Thanks!

Those are the best, price reflect that too. My dad has one on his long bed. here is a pic.

Re: Gaylord Bed Covers
 

I had one on my 97 f150 very nice..

This is not a picture of my truck, but it is the kind that I want. Where it sits inside the bed for a clean look.

Yes they are! I think my dad paid like $14-1600 for his, way too much for me.

One thing I would like is to find one from another truck that fits well so I can find one of those on CL for reasonable.

taylor,

Those are made here in Texas, I have been told they look and are real cheap, Checker makes them, but IDK

John, what is your's?

Bill in Torrance has one on his truck... Billy, you out there???

Re: Gaylord Bed Covers
 

Here's one from Pace Edwards, its aluminum and retracts into the box in front. You can get them either manual or electric.

Re: Gaylord Bed Covers
 

Especially when you can usually find a good, used cap (camper shell) for half that :)

Re: Gaylord Bed Covers
 

Sounds like the price has gone up. mine is a gaylord I think it was $695. in 2000.

Re: Gaylord Bed Covers
 

I put a Gaylord cover on my 72 El Camino and love it .But yes it was expensive and worth every penny.

Re: Gaylord Bed Covers
 

those tend to leak.. and don't lock the tailgate, the over rail/gate ones,
no one can get in your bed without unlocking the cover..

Re: Gaylord Bed Covers
 

ya, if you get the top of the line hinge system..
now before you say it's expensive..
price out other ,lesser covers then go have it painted..
gayloard are painted to match your paint code..(if a standard paint code, not a candy/custom paint)
a leer cover for my 97 f150 was cheaper to buy, then you have it painted..
so the gayload was a better deal in the end..
go price a paint job on a fiber cover..

if I can find a bed cap with no windows in the sides I'll go with that..

Re: Gaylord Bed Covers
 

Maybe things have changed... we looked at hard tonneaus for our Tacoma five years ago. Local dealers had A.R.E. and Leer, and both came color-matched to any standard paint code.

Re: Gaylord Bed Covers
 

anyone got a pic of a Gaylord on a stepside bed?

Re: Gaylord Bed Covers
 

I've been looking at these also. Some sites don't go back far enough on the year. Does anyone know what years/sizes to look for?

Re: Gaylord Bed Covers
 

they never did, the dealer has it painted at a local bodyshop..
and makes it part ofthe price..

the gaylord is, and warranty'd
the local bodyshop. well.
I've known some to scotch bright and add adhesive promoter to the can, and paint it.

Re: Gaylord Bed Covers
 

If you say so.... I was told it was a factory-applied finish with a factory warranty. At any rate, it's a first-rate paint job and aside from a couple tiny rock chips, still looks as good as it did five years ago when we bought it.

Re: Gaylord Bed Covers
 

How much was this and where did you get it?

Re: Gaylord Bed Covers
 

I bought mine here http://www.autoanything.com/tonneau-...A1731A0A0.aspx But if you go to the Pace Edwards site they will list dealers close to you Mine was $1600 four years ago, it is the electric one.

Re: Gaylord Bed Covers
 

things might have changed, i bought mine in 98
I want one for my 71, it's about 1000oo

Re: Gaylord Bed Covers
 

this is a picture of the gaylord cover that i took off of my 67 stepside...thing weighs a ton. i would like to sell but shipping would not be an option...

Re: Gaylord Bed Covers
 

Hers mine. 1700 painted to match. Top quality

Re: Gaylord Bed Covers
 

Great, thanks for all the info guys. Gaylord no longer makes the one that fits inside the bed rails, but here is a company that i came across that makes one pretty close.
