Tonneau Cover - Stake Pockets
I didn't find too many options out there for Tonneau Covers, of course a custom maker could make whatever you need.
I put a Truxedo RealTruck Lo Pro on my 72C20, which actually fit pretty good. I had to order an extra front rubber seal, which was wider, to cover the front of the bed from them. The rear over the tailgate fit well. The problem is your stake pockets are not covered. I ended up putting some made for late model Dodge trucks that are very close to the proper size. I got some double sided sticky tape and spent the time cutting and placing it all around the edges. I was not confident that they would stay in, especially at highway speeds and these Michigan potholes ![]() Just for info if any other members are looking at their options for Tonneau covers and stake pockets.

Re: Tonneau Cover - Stake Pockets
I ordered a cover for square body truck and it covered the stake pockets.

Re: Tonneau Cover - Stake Pockets
Thanks for the flip. Posted from my phone and could not figure it out on why it's upside-down.

That’s the look I’m interested in. I like how that covers the stake pockets and the top of the tail gate. Your tonneau looks like a tri-fold , correct? Could you please elaborate on the manufacturer and model number for a square body? Thanks ![]()

I have the same Lo Pro Tonneau as you do. I opened your EBay kink and wondering are the stake pocket an after market product or a Chrysler part witha part number.

Re: Tonneau Cover - Stake Pockets
A little update.
After procrastinating to choose a tonneau cover that fit well and covered the stake pockets, I purchased an Extang Trifecta 2.0 Tri-Fold Tonneau Model #92535 for a 1973 C10 As we all know from many threads here on the site, there are not a lot tonneau options for the 67 to 72 C10/C20’s. The Revolution and Tonno-Pro models are no longer produced/offered. Extang only goes back and offers 1973 to 1986 square body tonneaus. Calling Extang they could not give me specific dimensions of their cover for the 1973 C10/20. ![]() ![]() The one man install was lightweight and a breeze. Removes easily if needed. The fit dimension wise, was near perfect. Finally got the bed covered. ![]() Hope this helps someone out there on the fence about getting a tonneau cover for their 8ft C10 bed. Thanks All,

No drilling required. Front of the folding tonneau (cab end) has four clamps that hand tighten, two to the rail and two safety lanyard clamps for securing the tonneau when traveling when the cover is folded up. Tailgate end has two pull down sliding tension clamps that attach to the bed rail. Super easy. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JbLVhW9JP6Y Hopes this helps ![]()

Re: Tonneau Cover - Stake Pockets
Even though it’s listed as 73 to 87 it fits perfectly.
