Looking for a box cover like this but don't know the manufacturer as I would like to order one for my truck. So any leads would be helpful.

Cannot remember but I have 2 of them. I know they were out of TN

It looks like mine, If it is it's from Craftec Inc. They are about a 1/4" too short, it leaves a gap between the end of the cover and tailgate.

Thanks for the info I will look into the company to see if they still make them.

CheckMate? They were the first to make a flush mount. I'm sure there are others now

Doesn't look like my Craftec... I don't have the rib down the center, his isn't sagging into the bed, the corners sit flush, and there doesn't seem to be a 1/2" gap between the tailgate and edge of the cover....

I hate mine I'm going buy something else. my gap is only 1/4", it doesn't sag in the middle, but it doesn't fit right.

Yeah, Mine sags because it never stays put. Its just a bit narrow for the bed I think and one side or the other likes to slip down between the rails when we get heavy rain. I keep it open most of the time to keep it from doing just that.

I guess its good for a trailer queen or truck that never sees weather, but up here in Oregon we see a lot of rain... Lesson learned I guess. I'll probably pull it off for the remainder of the winter and reinstall it for summer time cruising.
