Bed Covers? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

WTB3 · 08-12-2006, 06:52 PM

So who has a bed cover on their truck?
I am considering getting one but I don't know much about them. I would like to see pics and location of purchase.

Tcal · 08-13-2006, 11:46 AM

From my experiences I'd suggest staying away from leather bedcovers. They're more hassle than they're worth on ANY truck! :[ After the sun beams down on it for a while it's a mess

OLDROCK&ROLLER · 08-13-2006, 02:17 PM

I got mine herewww.checkerpro.com

WTB3 · 08-13-2006, 07:31 PM

That is the kind I want OldRock&Roller, i like the matching colors, but your link doesn't work

WTB3 · 08-13-2006, 11:35 PM

Doesn't anyone have a tonneau bed cover?

Lemield · 08-14-2006, 09:45 AM

I have a Gaylords cover on mine. Looks nice, can be painted to match and seals well. Only gripe I have is that it takes two strong people to remove it if you ever need to.

Sorry about the crappy picture quality.

Here is the link:

OLDROCK&ROLLER,

Do you have any pics of it with the lid down? Did the wing come with it or where did that come from?

Did not come with it. The wing is from Stylin'Concepts. Will post pic later with lid down.

WTB3 · 08-15-2006, 05:54 PM

OLDROCKANDROLLER, the link came back up, the website was just down or something.

WTB3 · 08-15-2006, 05:59 PM

One question though OLDROCKANDROLLER, did you have to drill any holes into your bed or make any other modifications to the truck?

**john** · 08-15-2006, 06:42 PM

I have a gaylord and had to drill holes ,but the new ones mount with no drilling. The new dont have the bead on the edge either.

70-Chevy · 08-15-2006, 07:31 PM

Dont want to steal your thread but how much do these gaylord covers cost?

76bonanza · 08-15-2006, 08:39 PM

The gaylords are high I have had a checker one on my old 71 nice for the money I have also had several soft covers and have liked them very well also.

WTB3 · 08-15-2006, 08:43 PM

Its fine 450hp69chevy, I was on the gaylord site and had a whole order customized and I still could not find a price, so I was also wondering how much the gaylord covers cost.

70-Chevy · 08-15-2006, 08:54 PM

So whats the pricing for these different types like? I guess Im asking for myself and WTB3, hehe. Thanks guys.

70c10 · 08-16-2006, 07:23 AM

Gaylord is around $900 or so I think.

WTB3 · 08-16-2006, 08:16 AM

Do you have to go to the dealer to order and buy them?

67chevemall · 08-16-2006, 08:24 AM

http://www.checkerpro.com/orderinformation.html

I'd go with these custom lids if I had a bed cover fund going.

70c10 · 08-16-2006, 09:20 AM

I just called checker products and was quoted $439 plus $130 shipping (for flush mount fiberglass) to a business. I like their covers the best.

67chevemall · 08-16-2006, 09:49 AM

Just need a good tape measure to get a perfect measure.

I wonder what shipping to Canada is?
I'll have to call em.

WTB3 · 08-16-2006, 07:54 PM

Does anyone know for sure how much a gaylord cover is?

KEH · 08-17-2006, 07:50 AM

I paid $1000 installed at the Gaylord shop when I was in California 3 yrs ago.
