Flush tonneau cover - who sells them?
 
Does anyone know where to get a flush tonneau cover? I'm looking for a cover that sits level with the bed not over the top of the bed..

Don't think this is what you mean, but the Craftec cover has the framework all inside the bed, but the actual cover sits just on top of the bedsides (otherwise it's gonna leak like crazy at the seam between bed and cover)

Sounds like might be looking for the Checkmate tonneau cover that is no longer produced.

Thats what I had on my old 94.

I haven't seen any in person, but I think the Bakflip G2 sits flush. It does on the newer trucks and someone told me it does on the gmt400 platform too.

Thanks all!

Marv, which fabric did you buy? I have been looking at that cover since it's my only choice at the moment. I'm leaning towards the black canvas.. If you have any more pictures I would appreciated it.

Justin, thanks for posting your truck! That's the cover I want but can't have .

I keep doing National Craig's lists searches and eBay but with no luck.

Steve, I looked at that as well but unless I see one installed I'm passing on it..for now!

I had one of these on my S-10, really nice piece, the recession did them in.

I wasn't gutsy enough to do the white, I got the slate gray.

this is the only other pictures I have. http://www.small-block-chevy.com/94GMC.html

FYI if you do the Craftec, they EXPLICITLY say to NOT use any armor-all or other vinyl wash / preservativives or special 'cleaners' on it. I didn't listen and had to replace the soft part in about 3 years. Now I use mild soap and water and it's lasted 5 more years and looks great still in the 110-120° Ariz summer sun. It sits outside uncovered so it takes all the UV and intense heat that can be thrown at it. Pretty durable material as long as you follow instructions. (who woulds thought!)

I agree. I liked them.

I'd have one on my red 98 if they still made them. I had to go with the snug top instead.

That's a good looking cover, and cheaper than what I paid for an upholstery shop to make a snap on cover for my stepper.
