Recommended Tonneau over
http://www.truckchamp.com/index.asp?...ategory=155115
Ok...it looks like the "EXTANG REVOLUTION TONNEAU COVER" looks like the best option for my truck when I get her back. I want a soft cover so it can be easily removed when I carry rocks and bricks (just kidding ) in my bed. Any other recommendations? Thanks

Gaylords are the best in my opinion. Locking fiberglass, but they are pricey.

Re: Recommended Tonneau over
I'm debating on several different styles right now and this looks like a great tonneau cover but I'm hoping to see a video of how it actually works or at least some detailed pics before I spend my $$$.

This is what is on my 55 ,it is pretty slick. I'm guessing the box up front is about 1 foot square.

Re: Recommended Tonneau over
The hard covers look nicer but to me they are not as practicle for my applications. There isn't very many choices.

Gaylord is the only company that I am aware of that makes custom fiberglass covers for our trucks. I REALLY like mine. It is the worlds largest trunk!

Re: Recommended Tonneau over
Well it looks as if Extang is going to be the winner.

Re: Recommended Tonneau over
I just changed my DD Extang Platinum Classic out for a New Extang Trifecta. The new one is a better fit and limits the dust into the bed. Works great and is easy to install.
