Tonneau cover from a '78 Ford F series works great

Hmmmm, I really am interested in one of these.
FYI, I just received some information from the factory on their bed covers.

Unfortunately, they do not carry 1967 to 1972 C10 covers.

I called a factory rep and got some specifications/dimensions for their other year tonneau's.

Here are the dimensions they (factory) specified:

1975 to 1987 C10's are width tapered slightly.
70.75" Width @ (Front Box)
70.50" Width @ (Tailgate)
99" Bed Length

My 1972 Longbox tape measurements:
99.50" Length
71" Width

Original post by Pearl72 stated he had aproximately .50"overhang on the Width of his bed.
1978 Ford 8 ft Longbox tonneau factory dimensions:
99.50" Length
71.25" Width

What I like is that the stake pockets are fully covered and protected.
The 1978 Ford tonneau might be the closest fit on our C10's.

FYI, I also found this site for truck bed dimensions:

Now to decide and pull the string?
