Anyone have a recommendation for a tonneau cover? It would be for an '81 short bed SuperCab, which I think is the same as the regular cab short bed.

 

To me you have to ask whether or not you want to lock it. If you want to lock it, as I do, then you will either have to add a lock to the tailgate or go with a tonneau that locks to the gate. But there are no tailgate locks that I find, although I did find an electric lock that may work. So that leaves a tonneau that locks to the gate, and the only one I can find is Roll-N-Lock. It is the most expensive, but I know people who have them and love them.

 

No, lock isn't necessary. I won't be leaving valuables unguarded in it. I like the looks of a nice cover, would be good to have some weather protection, and it would hide some old bed liner.
