Looking For Simple Tonneau Cover For My 68 Short Box

Can anyone point me to a link for a tonneau for my 68 K10 short bed? Just want a roll-up or something similar--sick of covering the bed with a tarp when it's stored.

Thanks in advance for the hep'

Dave.

This is what I have. If you watch for sales, you can save a few bucks. I got mine for less than $200.

Re: Looking For Simple Tonneau Cover For My 68 Short Box

Thanks everyone, and belated Merry Xmas as well to all.

That last one looks like it might do the trick. It looks like it has some optional colors as well which might be a bonus given the goldish/rust color of the truck....

Re: Looking For Simple Tonneau Cover For My 68 Short Box

Look at Craftec. http://www.crafteccovers.com/1967-72...-Bed_p_14.html I have one on mine. Since it's a soft cover, if you get rain or snow, it will stretch and sag so you may want to purchase an extra bow or two to keep it from holding a lot. I bought two extra bows later and it works nicely.

Jegs has the Extang 2310 - Extang Black Max Tonneau Covers for $186 with free shipping and handling. I would buy it, but I have a long bed.

I know that mine is a long box, but I love my Truxedo.
