72 longbed fleetside same as?

Is the 72 fleet longbed the same size as a 73? Or any other bed on another year/make/model for that matter? I'm going to get a tonneau cover soon and nocompany has theearlyier model listed for sizes. Thanks.

I doubt it. Best thing to do would be to get the measurments of the 73-87 cover and compare them with your bed measurments....but i can tell you right now the 73-87 trucks are several inches wider than the 67-72 trucks.

I believe that the years would take the same cover (same size) 95% sure.

I just measured my 2 trucks, the 72 is 71" wide, the 86 is 73" wide. 73-87 has the same bed...

I heard that a cover from like a 90's ford would work on 67-72 chevy's....not sure how true it is though.
