New member and just bought a 1970 4x4
I'm a new member to the 4x4 world. Just bought a 1970 C/10 Shortbed 4x4. I plan to take the roll bar out and install a tonneau cover. The reason being is that I'm getting stationed in Alaska in a few months and would like some bed protection from the snow. Does anyone know of a company who makes a fiberglass hinged tonneau cover for the '67-'72 Chevy trucks?

Thanks powell72. I was very happy to get it. I have a 69 3/4 ton Camper Special that's been in the family since day one but it's a two wheel drive. I've always wanted a 4x4 and now I have one. Best of both worlds I guess.

You can never go wrong with a black 67-72.

71SWB4x4, That's awesome, thanks for the tip. I've been searching the web for a while now with no luck for a cover like this.

Welcome from Seattle. I grew up in Anchorage...I saw many trucks get eatin' by the winters up there. Between breakup, sand and salt, it really wreaks havoc on just about anything. I stored my trucks over the winter.

Those Gaylord covers are really nice. I do not have one (yet), but I have seen a few in person.
Portugal to Alaska - that's quite a trip!!
