WTB roll-up tonneau for 71 fleetside long box
Does anybody know where I can buy a roll-up tonneau cover for my 71 fleetside long box at a reasonable price? I want to keep my new oak floor covered when I hit the road and run into some rain. Thanks for any suggestions.

I bought this one and I'm reeeeeally pleased with it. I used to have a Lund version like what you're considering and while it was inexpensive, eventually the vinyl started ripping at the snaps. Also, the snaps started making my thumbs ache simply because there are so many of them to snap. For the money, I highly recommend what I just bought.

Re: WTB roll-up tonneau for 71 fleetside long box
Here ya go. It's very dirty in the pics and they aren't great so let me know if you need better pics. Oh almost forgot, I haven't put on the front or rear foam sealer. It's basically what's used to seal canopies and so the vinyl edge is sticking out in front and looks tacky. They also give you plastic covers for the stake pockets. It is a really nice cover and lays flat unlike the ones that use bows. It's very sturdy and won't sink in the middle from the weight of water or snow. Also, I want to emphasize that it is a roll-up cover, not the flat kind. I'm very happy with it and would buy another one if I needed it for another truck.

Re: WTB roll-up tonneau for 71 fleetside long box
I've got the Black Max and I feel it's a very good value but
Brad's right about the snaps. My hands aren't very strong and with the tonneau being fairly new it can be a total PITA. Also, a word of warning on Jegs... I bought mine there, as well as a bottle of tonneau conditioner. They said free shipping but then added a hefty handling charge. If that wasn't bad enough, the cover shipped from one location and the conditioner another so...the handling charge was doubled. As it turned out, I ended up paying close to $20 for an $8 bottle. Maybe Mike can give you a shipping/time frame quote. . Last edited by ETsC10; 04-30-2010 at 12:22 AM. |
