bed covers

Any recommendations on hard or soft bed covers made specifically for my 69 LWB?

1969 C10 (not the current one) that I bought in the early 1980s. Paid $1200; sold for $1500 a few years later. Just a hint at the appreciation that was coming.

Checkmate has hard and soft covers. I have a hard cover for my SWB 69. It mounts flush and is real clean lookin'. Check out their web site.

Post Tonneau Cover

Lund makes a nice soft top - $200.00 price range.
Not bad - just allot of moving with the vinyl towards the rear.
I've had several & sold/sell allot of the Extang brands.
Low $ entry.

Checkmate makes a flush mount I currently have on two trucks & every customer I have sold/installed on trucks love 'em...
Paint to match - Black or white color only.

I'm going to check on Pace-Edwards roll-top for that application.
I have one a 2002 GM & seems to be the best selling unit currently.

Just depends on what your looking for & $'s you want to spend.
Best of luck
