I think all 8' beds up to mid 90's (maybe later) are the same dimensions.

True except for the windshields, 73 to 79 are the same.

I would really like some more info on this tonneau cover. Have contacted multiple hard tonneau cover companies and ALL have told me that they do not have a hard tonneau that will fit a '73-'79 Ford. How about a manufacturers brand name & model number. Thanks, any help greatly appreciated. I will post pix when I get this mysterious tonneau installed.

For what it is worth, I did see a company on eBay the other day advertising a cover (new, made to order) for 73-79 Ford trucks,,... It was in the parts section.

My cover for my 79 crew that I posted in a few pics above was originally on a 96 F150 shortbox. Looking at it you could not tell that it was not for the crew. Fits perfect!
