Default Bed Covers

Does anyone know where i can find a smooth, solid bed cover? not a tonneau cover, not vinyl, not retractable. A flush style aluminum or fiberglass cover that lifts.

Thanks

what do you mean, not a tonneau? That seems like what you are asking for?

This is a fibreglass tonneau cover that I have made by ARE. Lifts using hydraulics and comes with a lock. I paid $300 used 2 years ago for it. Not bad condition but the paint cracks around the lock and handle because its metal. Suprisingly not too many spider cracks in the fibreglass.

Check your local ads, if not I"m pretty sure you can get a brand new one from companies like LEER but they are expensive.

A tonneau cover is a cover that covers the best. The style of the tonneau cover is what you being specific about. Sounds like you are looking for a hard tonneau cover (as opposed to a soft, retractable, or flip).

For your vehicle, this is the only option we offer.

Good Luck!
