Get a custom made.......They are pretty cheap if ya find a good upholstery guy. I have built several of them and also tried the kits and my customers hated the kits.........Spend the extra cash and be happy!!

Looks good...how about a picture of the frame. Did you have to drill a lot of holes?

Re: lmc truck 73-87 stepside tonneau cover?

I did drill 6 small holes in the inside of the bed. All the mounts are hidden. Has an all aluminum frame and pivots at the bulk head. I will post a frame pic later today.

No, its not LMC's. It's from a place in Noblesville Indiana called Craftec Inc excellent quality I think.

The hyd. supports are mounted by removing one bed fender bolt on each side. The pivots for them are the same thread as the torx head bolts. So, no extra holes to drill.
