White Tonneau cover

Anyone running a white tonneau cover? I would like to see pictures. I am thinking about getting the Craftec cover. Our truck is blue and white, and are leaning toward a white cover. Any pics would be appreciated.

Re: White Tonneau cover

As long as you can keep it white (clean) I think it would be cool. I have a black tonneau on my '72.

Re: White Tonneau cover

I still have the snap on white tonneau cover I had made for my '71 Custom Camper/20. I just used a scrub brush while I washed the truck and it stayed nice. I'd put it on my '72 if it didn't already have cargo hooks in the way. I only ever took one picture of it and it was at night in Myrtle Beach. It was the old style that used a couple mahogany bows for supports and the back one always popped down from down force

Re: White Tonneau cover

Not the best shot. I have since gone with a color matched Gaylord cover.
Also changed wheels/tires.

Re: White Tonneau cover

I'm leaning towards a white Craftec cover as well for my copper and white truck. It's never in the weather so I'm not worried about keeping it clean. I did a little retouching to see what it would look like. Haven't made the purchase yet.

Re: White Tonneau cover

I'm leaning towards white but I think either would work.

Re: White Tonneau cover

I have it on my truck but we are having issues trying to get the back of it to hook into the rail... outside of that this is a great cover...

I also am having to modify mine due to the fact my tailgate opens from inside so it has not been mounted permanently on the truck yet...

Re: White Tonneau cover

White is actually much easier to keep clean. A black tonneau gets dusty first day and if you don't keep up with them they don't stay very black.
