Getting it covered.

I did a search and can't really find any pictures. I am looking at getting a snap style tonneau cover. Does anyone have any pictures of yours and what kind are you using? Thank you guys!

Tonneau covers that used snaps were made by auto upholstery shops, not by FoMoCo.

There could be a gazillion different styles of these covers, depending on what the customers specified.

Exactly how many is a "gazillion"? Haha

What I'm looking for are the ones that have a frame around it that the snaps go to. I know Extang makes some but I would like to see it on our vintage truck and also other options that maybe available. Thanks again.

A former member had one on his truck. It was a 72 though. He got the cover from summit racing if I remember right. It looked good on it I was thinking about doing the same thing to mine.

I have an Extang 8335 full tilt on my '66 F250 and it looks good, fits and works well.

Wow, very nice looking truck, I like the cover for the bed! Is that Academy Blue?

Thanks, the truck was originally Marlin Blue but the PO painted it this color. I think it is a Mustang color from the 90s. It is a pearl blue that looks a little greener when it is in the sun.

Ed, looks great. I am toying with color options for my 64. I want to stay with a stock available color of the year, but truth be told... I hate most of them, especially the ever popular Caribbean Turquoise. I am thinking Academy Blue would be alright though.

The dark blue color is what drew me to this truck when I bought it last year. If I ever repaint it I will stay with a dark blue metallic but will probably skip the color changing paint. The Academy blue looks like a good choice.
