Craftec Bed Cover Measurement Please - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

cebra · 01-30-2020, 10:00 AM

I want to get a Craftec bed cover for my truck but I am not sure if my toolbox will interfere with it. Covering the toolbox is one of the main reasons I want the cover. Can anyone that has this cover take a picture of the front hinge area where it attaches to the header panel of the bed? Similar to the closer up picture I took. Or measure how much of the "hinge" attaches to the bed (i.e. is it 2" that screws to the header panel) if that makes sense? Thanks.

May have to move that box to the rear 1/4" but it should clear...

Thanks so much, the box is as far back as it will go but if it doesn't fit out of the box, I am sure I can do some trimming to make it work from the pics.

There's a cross member 24" back but it can be moved back to clear the box. The framework is 1" deep so keep that in consideration...
