I thought it would be good to see what type of covers you all have on your truck beds. Heres mine ...

My 70CST LWB with an Extang Revolution soft cover...

Checkmate or checker pro or something like that

I have a hard fiber glass cover on mine.

US cover in Rockhill SC. It has served me well over the past 20 some years traveling.

Sicklajoie · 05-25-2012, 05:28 AM

Mine's a Gaylord.
One of these day's I'm going to get rid of it. But I have to repaint the top of the bed from where it's worn off some of the paint.

JWall · 05-25-2012, 08:19 AM

I have the Craftec cover...

(Sorry about the only pic I've got that you can actually see the cover)

Thanks to all...

There are times when the question of what bed cover to use and this will give folks an idea of what is avaliable and their looks. Thanks again

Just remember,there are bed covers and there are tonneau covers. Tonneaus covers are fabric and bed covers are hard material.

This is a tonneau cover:

**CMACDONALD1** · 05-25-2012, 02:14 PM

Here is a picture of a truck I seen at the Spokane Goodguys show last summer. This guy made his cover out of tempered glass. It looked pretty cool and have never seen anything like that. I thought I would share and hope the owner does not mind.

That's a cool cover but I'd hate to have to keep the water spots off of it!

that's hilarious, I was thinking the exact same thing... Does look real nice though.

**CMACDONALD1** · 05-25-2012, 08:07 PM

I bet that nitros bottle gets a little warm in there as well on a hot day.

CEE1NG_RED · 05-25-2012, 08:25 PM

What cover is best for security and weather condition purposes? I keep my '67 SWB outside on the driveway.

The Pace Edwards shown above is water tight and and it is really strong. I put locks on the inside of the tailgate so there is no way in without the remote or destroying the cover. There is a hidden release just in case the power fails.

Andy4639 · 05-26-2012, 12:24 AM

Mine is lockable also only the back part opens but it sure was nice having it covered when it's raining are need to store something on a trip.

6772owner · 05-26-2012, 09:23 AM

I love the Pace Edwards covers, my last 72' had a Full Metal Jack Rabbit (same as above w/o the electric operation, also has a smaller canister up front) I never had a problem with it over about 7-8 years. They hold up really well, drain water outside the bed and are lockable, just not cheap!
