hard bed cover for a 71 longbed

I've been searching the posts till my eyes ache and have contacted 4 different manufacturers for hard bed covers. They all say nothing for that old of truck.
My truck is in very good shape and I want to keep it that way. I need a good bed liner and a hard, lockable cover that will stand being opened and closed 4-5 times a day. The tilt up fiberglass jobs won't work, I need a roll up aluminum jobber or a fold up sectional that allows open access to all the bed and can be removed easily. Piece of cake, right? Does anyone know of manufacturers that make bed covers for the 67-72 trucks? How about if any other years/ models will fit? They sure seam hard to find. Thanks.

Look at the links for a utility bed (Utility Bed Locker) , send them the dimensions of your long bed and see what it would cost.

They list the JackRabbit for 1975-96. I imagine you can adapt it your truck.
