Thanks sourkraut. I wish I could say I built the truck myself, but it was done completely by someone else. I just paid the bills! My grandfather bought the truck new in 1972 so it's been in the family a long time. The bed cover is a custom job. No one makes a cover that we were happy with, and the only one that I could find similar to mine has been discontinued. So, the guy built one from scratch. Turned out great. Has two gas struts, and no latches. The way it is balanced and the way the struts are attached, it stays closed at both fast, and slow, speeds. When I want to lift it up, the struts assist in the lift, then hold it up with no problem. If you'd like more info, feel free to pm me.
