Does anybody have one of these soft top bed covers on their 81-87's. Several people got them on the 67-72 board. Thinking about getting one. www.craftecinc.com.

i want a flush mount tonneau for my truck but i cant find a real nice one for our trucks the price seems right but they dont have any pics of one on our truck

Never seen this one before. I really like the hinged soft covers. The only thing I don't like is that it doesn't cover the stake holes on the bed rail

staggerd86c-10 · 10-04-2009, 10:24 PM

what brand is that one? i found a company called agri-cover and it has nice affordable stuff from what it looks like on their website. anyone used one of these before?

Thats a craftec pic. Shaving the stake pockets would make it look much better. I like this cover because it looks very flat and you cant really notice the bars going across unlike other brand covers.

My uncle is looking for a hard top this same flush style for his truck.

There was a guy in here that had a really nice truck like ours and he had a flush hard tonneau cover on his truck. He bought it from this spot. Its in the checkmate FX section. You actually measure your bed and they make it sit pretty much flush inside. I cant remember the name of the guy but the picture is in our members rides somewhere. His truck was like a dark almost gun metal grey.

Lebra use to make a low profile one that summit use to sell for $250 I was going to buy but then when I tried to order they said they couldn't get them anymore because they when out of business. I like this one I think I'm going to order one in about a month or two need to save the money!

Anyone who has bought one notice an increase in MPG?

flamingbig10 · 10-05-2009, 09:43 PM

I will haven't noticed any change with mine but I usually I only drive 5 or so cities miles at the most

I have a typical rail style soft tonneau on my 03 Sierra. I do notice a gain in mpg. Not a dramatic gain, and not paying for itself gains, but every little bit helps.
