Hard Bed Cover
Who makes the best looking hard bed covers for a '72 short-fleet? I saw an ARE cover on a truck on Ebay that looked nice but their applications do not show the 72 vintage.

That one on mine was a 94-2001 Dodge Ram 1500 ARE topper. They fit pretty decent on there. The guy that bought it has it off now but Idaho would be a killer to ship. Mark

Re: Hard Bed Cover
Gaylords is the one for over the edge-type and Checkmate is the one for flush with edge-type.
