I thought I'd made a mistake. I sold my '72 Fleetside that I got out of a compost heap in 1998. Took me (with a lot of help from friends) four years to get her to a spot that Classic Trucks ran a little blurb (March '04) on the build. Went to a local show about three weeks ago and decided to put a "for sale" sign in. I got second in the truck category, and no sale. I was happy.

Then a really nice guy who had talked to me at the show called. Came up with the dough in 5 minutes, and drove off with my kid!!!!!

The Jeep didn't fill the gap. In one week, I was scratching like a dog on a fuzzy tree. I found an '83 short stepside in what I thought was pretty good shape.

The cycle is spinning. The credit card is burning. One less nice guitar in the stash is paying for a 350 switch taking place right now. Summit knows my name. Jegs knows my name. UPS knows my name. Ebay knows my name....etc.

I know this for sure. 1) Smog stuff (CA) sucks. And, 2) I need a tonneau cover. I can't seem to find anything like I could for the '72....A soft cover with bows that isn't a million dollars.

I've looked all the places on the web that make sense to me. But all the places that will "custom fit" have "custom prices". The bed already has holes along the side rails....no snaps, just holes where someone must have had a tonneau on it previously.

Any tips....I mean "suggestions"?
