Bed Cover Question
Going to order a tonneau cover for my 1976 long bed from summit soon. Looking at the tuff tonno for 219.00 from extang or the 169.00 from saddleman the top mount.
Ant thoughts anyone have either of these?

Extang or Tek-style both make a good cover.

I use both. One of each on my trucks. I like the one on BADBOW better. I'll have to check which one I have on my truck. I'll post later.

My truck has a Tek style soft cover on it. I like over the Extang. The stiches are better. The quality of the materials is better. Better fit. I recommend the Tek style over the Extang.
The profile is really low too.

Does it keep the weather out good?
Also is it snaps. And is it the 160.00 or the 200.00 one. Thanks

The cover does keep the weather out really good. Yes it has snaps all the way around. This cover uses a steal back side snap that moves along the rail. The Extang uses plastic backside snaps that them selves snap into the rails. They break pretty easy. The steal type backside snaps have a greater advantage. The system is completely drill less too. Just clamp and snap on. I'm not sure on the model but I pressume it's the more expensive type. I would have too look at the parts to know for sure. I'll see if I can find a post with close pictures.
