I belive ******** is the only ones making one for a hard cover but there is the soft ones in catalogs. I have a buddy down the street working on a 72 sb and he is in the hunting for one also, I'll keep u posted if he finds anymore.

I had the local Pickup shop make one for my 68 back in the day. The truck had a white cab, so I got a white vinyl snap on cover. I then built a frame and plywood table for it so that it would not sag. We actualy used to stand on it and even dance on it..again...back in the day :-) I had some good looking girls dancing on the back of Old Blue...Even had 5 in the front once, with just one other guy...Ah, the things a guy remembers :-)

Checkmate - the bed cover not the game
Try Checkmate- I see more of theirs than ********. MIne is a Checkmate -but don't bother with the removable hinges, they raise the front slightly, I'm going to ditch mine and use the standard ones.

Do like I did on my 01 Ranger. I made a aluminum diamond plate cover. It is braced by 1" square steel tubing. The back half folds over on the front half. Cost was $150.

The really nice and dreadfully expensive all metal cover that Pros Picks sells uses some mega industrial double sided tape.
I agree it wouldn't take much to make a nice cover, I just used checkmate to make it easier for myself at that time.
