Tonneau FOR US LONG BED PEOPLE - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I'm old school. I was having tonneau covers made for my trucks before the concept of frame insert style came to be. I get an upholstery shop to make them. You guys will cringe at the thought of all those 1/16" holes for snaps drilled into the bed. But like I said, I'm old school and I do my trucks period correct. I actually like seeing the snaps along the edge when the tonneau is removed. And the wholes are no problem to close up if I decided I wanted to change it. My '72 had cargo hooks screwed into the bedsides when I got it and I like those, too. I still have a parchment tonneau stashed. I think it would look great on my white truck with the cargo hooks.

I do also like the these modern design frame-mount tonneaus.
