Who makes a hard bed cover ? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

nosto · 05-23-2002, 03:02 PM

Thinking a few months ahead when the truck is back in one piece, I'm looking for a hard (fiberglas) bed cover for my '67 short stepside.
Checked about 10 companies in the Yahoo biz directory and no one there listed our year trucks (one company went to '73-'80).

I know I've seen references to this type of product on the board a while back, but those brain cells are long gone.

Can anyone help out?

Thanks,

Checkermate.com I posted a topic about this a couple of days ago...I called them and they said that the fiberglass one is a little taller than the bed.

My 72 Cheyenne long bed came with a Gaylord. It was a CA truck. The cover is decent but has a rough surface, alligator skin or wrinkle finish that gathers dirt over the years. I expect the cover is nearly as old as the truck. The bed wood still has some original paint showing.

I did one for a freinds truck, was going to do one for mine but I've gone to the shell thing. I did the cover in 1/4 ply with steel rods across the inside to get it all straight, then I glassed it on both sides and shaped the sides. Works great looks like a store bought. Took 2 days and a day to gelcoat.
