I had a 69 LB fleetside and I ordered a check mate cover for it. It fit well and had nice options(light, barrel key locks). The finish was ok, took lots of prep work and 4 coats of filler primer and 3 coats of color to cover the fiberglass look.(does that make since)

Here is the best price that I found on the Gaylords. $740.95 - $799.95 + $150 shipping.
http://www.autoanything.com/products...6&v_id=1788032 Too bad we couldn't do a "Group Buy" cause I'd take advantage of it in a heart beat. Any one have good sales/buying techniques????

I had a soft checkmate one on my 96 silverado and was also not overly impressed. It works but i had to reinforce the frame of it because it was too weak and also the thing just never fit right. i have no experience with the hard ones though.
Also i am looking for a reasonable priced flush mount hard tonneau for my 72 swb. If anyone has a good recommendation that would be great.
