Truck Bed Cover Ideas
I am looking to get a bed cover for my short bed. I found one at Brother's Chevy GMC. Has anyone purchased this? I want to stay with a one-piece, hard top. Anyone find one somewhere else? It's a bit pricey, around 1,300.00, but then again, the truck is pricey. Just want it to look good and work well. Any ideas would be appreciated.

Re: Truck Bed Cover Ideas
Gaylord, Leer and others are the better known brands. Gaylord has a good rep for quality. They are pricey for sure. If not new there should be some pop up on CL or the bay.
Take a look at this link. http://www.autoanything.com/tonneau-...0A3137017.aspx

Re: Truck Bed Cover Ideas
haysonj, your truck looks great. I just ordered one, without the electric motor, that will be delivered today. Looking at your bed rails, is that rinolinning over the edge or do you have black bed caps? I am trying to figure out what to do with my bed rails. Also, any tips on the install? Thanks!

Re: Truck Bed Cover Ideas
Because nobody makes a cover for a longbed stepside I had mine made locally. They used real heavy gauge Naugahyde and they sewed on a pair of edge stripes that perfectly matched the body color and then they completely installed the snaps on the bed and did a beautiful job all for $225.00. I only said this to show that you don't have to spend big bucks to get a nice cover. All it takes is to find a good upholstery shop. Just my $.02
Just noticed you want a hard cover. Sorry, my error.
