tonneau cover??
 

has anyone evr seen or heard of anybody that makes a soft cover for the hook side longbeds? id like to get something to keep stuff fairly dry,and out of the weather.

humfff!

I've been looking, but it looks like we'll have better luck finding a tonneau if we had big stupid bro trucks.
Have you looked into having one made?

I would look for one of those snap covers that they used to make (may still do). I'm thinking that something off of a Ranger, Mazda Truck or some of the other generations of Toyota Pickups might work. Just scope out the dimensions. I'll eventually get one when I get a factory bed so let me know what you find out.

the problem for me is having a longbed,i work in a sheetmetal shop so modifying an existing frame is no biggie,just finding one for an 8' bed to cut down (used) and modify has been impossible,plus ive got a friend in the upholstery bussiness who can do the cover portion once a frame is fabbed.

If you work at a sheet metal shop and you have a friend that does upholstery why don't you make one from scratch?

maybe the guy at http://killertoytops.com/ could hook you up. Or contact a local upolstry or boat top maker...

and check your tape measure..you don't have an 8 foot bed

He said he wanted to find an 8 foot bed cover to cut down to size... not meaning he thought he had an 8 foot bed :)

already e-mailed killertops today just to see if theyve dealt with this at all...ill probably be making my own this winter....oh yea,thanks nickmiller for checking my tape measure.

Gotcha ..sorry missed thAt
