Tonneau cover

I am looking to get a new tonneau cover for my longbed and was looking at a few online. Which cover is the best one that you have used and why?

I was looking at the Truxedo and the extang revolution tonight and wonder if anybody has used them and maybe has pros and cons of both and of course pictures always help. Thanks

Re: Tonneau cover

Looks like a nice cover, does it cover up the stake pockets?

Re: Tonneau cover

I would love to go with that soft style but they don't have locking ones... Not trying to thread jack, but does anyone have a locking cover on there 67-72? I'll be rolling with 4 grand worth of beat in the back and am thinking about ditching the shell.

Re: Tonneau cover

I got it at Autoanything, but it is available at other online stores as well. It came with free shipping.

Re: Tonneau cover

This one I had custom made. Convertible top canvas, just to give you some ideas. Oh, and no, this doesn't sit outside at all except for at a cruise in or car show.

Re: Tonneau cover

The one from "Pace" locks and rolls is awesome, Had it on my other truck for ten years, wasn't cheap , But you get what you pay for. I would get another one.

Re: Tonneau cover

I have used extang. Plus is clamp on rails. No drilling. Support bars were attached to the clamps.
