Looking for member's opinions on the different covers for pickup beds; given that I'll be taking this truck to the track and would like security for overnight parking at motels.
If you like yours post a picture! Thanks. Options: 1. Complete cover that lifts up and is held up with gas shocks 2. Vinyl cover that folds towards the front to access the PU bed 3. Vinal cover that is stretched over a frame 4. ? Thanks. |

Randal,
It all depends on what you plan on hauling to the track in the truck bed. If it is bulky and may stick up higher than the bed rail then I would go with a cab high fiberglass shell. If not then I would use a fiberglass cover that has more security and can be locked. I have had a cab high shell and a vinyl tonneau. If I had a pickup again I would go for the fiberglass tonneau that is held up by gas struts. Several of the TTers have this set up for their tow vehicles. Currently have a buddy that has a vinyl cover stretched over an aluminum frame. Very nice but if you plan on keeping valuables in the truck bed overnight I would opt for something more substantial than vinyl. He has an enclosed trailer so he keeps all the goodies in there not the truck bed. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif) |
