Aluminum Tonneau Cover | 1973-87 Chevy Fleetside Short Bed

It sits between the bedsides. Not on them. That one decision is what separates the FANTOM from every cover that bolts a frame on top of your bed rails and calls it flush. Nothing rests on the rails; the line of the bedside stays unbroken; and from the side the truck reads as a squarebody rather than a squarebody with a lid. Underneath it is an aluminum rail system with water management designed in and rain gutters running to the corners. Weather stripping seals it and an upgraded hinge carries it. 170 lbs of cover that opens on an electric actuator or on gas shocks depending on how you order it. The electric lift with remote option adds a key fob; so a locked; sealed bed opens from across the parking lot with your hands full. Every one is built to your truck from a dimension sheet. 1973-87 beds were not built to a tight tolerance and a cover that is custom made is the only kind that fits flush. Plan on 4 to 8 weeks; bare aluminum; and your own paint.

  • Flush between the bedsides - nothing sits on top of the bed rails so the squarebody line stays intact.
  • Water managed by design - integrated gutters in the rail system route water out instead of into the bed.
  • Key fob opening - the Electric Lift with Remote option opens a locked bed with your hands full.
  • Built to your bed - a dimension sheet per truck is the only honest way to make a cover fit flush on a forty year old bed.
  • Painted to your truck - it arrives bare so the colour is yours rather than a compromise.
  • Comes back off - removable when the bed has to haul something a lid cannot.
