i like how the soft tonneau cover rolls over the rail and under. that should look pretty clean installed. i'm thinkin maybe one for my 57

just wondering im building my truck and i have all my pics of the build but im not sure how to start a thread on my build or how that works.

i have been looking at these for my 57 stepside...http://stslids.com

they look nice but the only thing is would water get in on my wood bed???? the soft ones wrap around and under the lip of the bed im affraid the flush mounts would let alot of debrie and water through.....

[mixermike]

not sure if you would really get any water in your bed. mine is not a daily driver.i'm looking to leave things in the bed out of sight.

First of all welcome aboard from Central Florida! This is a great place to be, lots of knowlege and brotherhood. I don't know much about the bed cover but I have a short stepper (70 GMC) and will tag along on this.
To start a build thread (I haven't yet) go to that section of the forum and pick on "New Thread" and have at it. Load pics with the "Manage attachments" button below where you type messages in, you can do that here also to load pics. Why don't you practice that here now and show us a shot of your truck.

[Dano69c10]

The two places I talked to quoted about $900-$1000 price range. Too steep for me. Going with no cover for now.

Your truck looks real good by the way!

For a temp bed cover in the shop, a twin size (I think) fitted bed sheet fits right over the top and will keep crap off of your wood.
