Soft vinyl tonneau on my '63 short Fleet side. No holes in the bed sides - the snaps are in a frame that clamps on the bed rails.

Re: Any Tonneau covers out there?

Here is mine. It is an Extang. No drilling, it tilts up with gas struts, and it lifts off easily for hauling big loads.

Check out this thread. It has the part numbers and info on other tonneaus.

Re: Any Tonneau covers out there?

Here is my short step cover. From a 89 chev stepside. Used the expanding rubber plug anchors in the stack pockets. Only required a few mods to the frame, no mods to the cover itself.

I have one like this and like it, but thought about making my own hard cover.

Re: Any Tonneau covers out there?

I'm not sure which I like best, the hard top or soft top. Where I live with tree limbs always falling down it'd probly be best to have a hard. lol

Clyde.....not that I've seen. I would go by the bed size. IIRC these beds are almost 7'x7' off the top of my head.
I found mine specifically advertised for 60-66 trucks.

I love the idea of having a huge trunk and something to protect the wood but I don't like the look of them. I like my be wide open.

Re: Any Tonneau covers out there?

I wanted a roll up tonneau cover so I could use the bed if needed. Found Truxedo would build a custom cover for a short step bed, attaches and removes easily, velcro along the sides will keep it tight.
