[elky] Re: Bed Cover Options

sprint came with one. It is a funny sloped shape to fit the bed sides. Kept it but it's under a tarp in the weeds. Figure when (hahaha) sprint gets painted we'll match it. It needs new seals but judging by the bed it did a good job of keeping it rust free, but it did scrape up the roof which rusted.
I don't really like those Fiberglas ones - you see more people fighting with them in the pick up area at the airport.

I'm looking at the various bed cover options (for my '80)... Ray what
was the tonneau you had?  Fiberglass?  I looked at the fiberglass
tonneaus, they are expensive, not necessarily water tight and maybe
heavy?  Another idea is a camper top, but none of the ones I've seen
work with the lines of the El Camino (sorry if anyone has one!).

Reading on the El Camino Central forum the recommended vinyl tonneau
is from Craftec:

is also an article from El Camino magazine about this tonneau:

  No snaps and the price is reasonable.

Your thoughts?
