Checkmate FX tonneau

I am getting the soft tonneau w/ hinges and need somebody that has ordered from them before because their instructions are sort of confusing. (1) Do they already have the dimensions for a '69 SWB Fleet or do I need to give them the dimensions, and if so (2) what measurements do I need to give them. Thanks
John

hey, i just ordered one a couple of months ago. i wouldnt reccomend it, the thing just sucks. its always needing to be tightedned, the springs they give you dont hold it up if there is the littlest beeze, the weatherstripping they gives you like scratched my paint. i am not happy with it at all, but, you need to measure from inside bedrail to inside bedrail at the front, and at the back, and in the back measrue the narrow part after the bedrail gets about 1/2 inch wider on each side. the back measurement should be like 1 inch narrower than the front. then measure from the front of the bed to the tailgate. goodluck with it and if you get it please let me know how you like it. here is a picture of my pickup, you can kind of see the cover. goodluck, Ben

Big69C20, I don't have one, but am looking to get one. Church, I went to your site and could not find tonneaus? I was curious to look at the different ones.

We are working our the site. There is a lot work left to do before we get all of out products out there. If you want some pics pm your e-mail address to me. Currently we are buying from over 300 vendors, so it takes a little time to get that much info loaded.
