Bed cover
Since Checker Products doesn't make the Checkmate flush mount tonneau cover can anyone suggest any others? I had one on an s dime years ago and really liked it for the price!

Re: Bed cover
I think this company makes a flush cover. I need to look into them for mine.

Re: Bed cover
This is the only company that I have found that makes them. I think they may be the only one.

Re: Bed cover
Do you want a solid bed cover or would one that folds up work? I have a Bak-Flip on my 2011 GMC that works great and it is flush with the bed rails.

Re: Bed cover
Did you ever find a solution? There is offically nothing available except custom since stslids number goes to an 800# scammer service when I called. Anyone know a custom shop that will ship?

Re: Bed cover
Snugtop makes a low profile lid for the trucks. I have one on my 84 GMC SWB.

Re: Bed cover
I was looking for ones that sat flush or even better a 1/4 below the bed rails. Looks like pro's-choice makes one out of canada in aluminum.

Re: Bed cover
You might look at these. This company stands behind their products. I have one of the fold up hard covers on my 2011 GMC. I would consider the vinyl covered metal one for my next purchase.

Re: Bed cover
I never found anything like what I originally wanted. Gaylord and Snuglid are probably the best solution for a hard cover but I'll probably just go with a soft cover.

Re: Bed cover
I bought my soft cover off eBay for $299 if memory serves me correct. It's hinged and raises up and is easily removed.

Re: Bed cover
I was wanting one that I could paint to match my truck and also thought about painting something on it as well. Looks like no one offers anything like that anymore. I am not a fan of the ones that set on top of the bed rails.

Re: Bed cover
I'm glad you started this post. I'm also looking for a flush mounted lid. Going to do some of the Power Tour this year and really want one. Anybody have pictures of the lids they have on there trucks?

Re: Bed cover
This is a Snuglid that I have had on my truck for many years. I purchased it for the 1996 Hot rod Power Tour. It allows me t lock up the bed and keep things dry.
