Re: Tonneau Covers

I want on for my truck. I like the hinged one that LMC has but that joker is pretty pricey. I've seen som eof our trucks on eBay with Tonneau covers. I always ask the seller where they got it from, but I never get an answer. Do a search for "TONNEAU" as well, a few threads talk about them.

Re: Tonneau Covers

I eventually would like one for my truck. However, for $1200 - 1300 I will attempt to fab my own.

Re: Tonneau Covers

I just realized that you have a stepside, so this may not help you.

Re: Tonneau Covers

I can have one of those snap-o-round jobers done for 180.00$ at a local shop, i was really hoping to have a fiberglass one instead. I was checking into doing one, when i started messing with a used topper to get a base, and that fiberglass ate my lunch, so i kinda gave up on the idea of fabing one up myself. I also had an idea of maybe trying to build a cover and have it covered in the same material as a rag top. What do you guy's think?
