Anyone put one of these on their truck?

I've been looking for a bed cover for the 71 for some time now and it looks like this might be a good one. I'd rather have a hard cover but as far as I can tell, they just aren't available. This one is an Extang 54315. How does this stack up to a Truxedo? Are there better ones out there?

IMHO Sport Master makes one of the best bed covers out there as long as you don't plan to do a lot of removing it other wise the snaps will give you troubles.

I believe www.checkerpro.com will build a hard cover for you if they are still in business.

I really would like a hard cover but if I go that route, I'll have to explain to my wife that her new dining room set will have to come from Ikea rather than Eathan Allen.

I just installed the Extang Full Tilt. Its vinyl with a alum frame that tilts or can be fully removed. Here is a link.

CheckerPro a few years ago they were in KY. They had some issues and a few complaints. They then started giving a year warranty on their workmanship. Later they moved (3-4 years ago?) to the TX area. Somebody in the Tx area needs to look them up, see if they are still doing custom covers to fit any truck like before. They were reasonably priced slightly less than 1/2 of the bigger names with all the bells n whistles. Carpeted bed/ cargo light and gas struts. And they even offered paint matching for an additional coin.
