Thought I'd do a little review on this. Just got it for xmas and haven't had time for a write up before. Here's what it looks like mounted on a 68 LWB
Couple of things to note from the pics. Number one: that box was freaking huge. Number two: when they say that it's low profile they mean it. I think it sticks maybe a half inch over the rails. So far the only thing I've noticed is that it isn't completely flush on the front due to the rounded edge of the bed right behind the cab. I took my drop in bedliner out thinking it might cause fitment issues but in all honesty the part that goes up and over the front might make it a bit more snug. Even though wind does get up under there a bit it is only at highway speeds and even then the whole thing doesn't billow around, it's just a subtle tiny bubble. Even without velcro it holds itself down very well. I left a few things in the bed over the last few weeks just to test it, and nothing is wet so it seems to be working fine to me. Oh, I did also notice that it makes the tailgate a bit snug as well, but that may be just fitment on my truck. Considering that they make this for brand new trucks and this one is 50 years old I'd say it's a pretty good fit. Definitely happy with it, and I would recommend it to anyone who is otherwise considering a velcro or snap cover. Don't do that to yourself. This cover was not much more expensive, but definitely worth the difference.
