Aluminum Tonneau Cover | 1973-79 Ford Styleside Short Bed
Dentside. Flush lid. Nothing on the rails. A 1973-79 Styleside bed has a flat; wide top rail that most tonneau makers treat as a mounting shelf. Bolt a frame across it and the truck picks up an aftermarket silhouette that no amount of paint matching fixes. The FANTOM goes down between the bedsides instead. The rail stays bare; the profile stays factory; and the only thing that changes about the truck from fifty feet is that the bed is now closed. The rail system is aluminum with water management engineered into it - gutters route rain out at the corners rather than relying on a seal to hold a puddle. An upgraded hinge carries the lid and weather stripping finishes the perimeter. Pick your lift at checkout: electric actuators with a key fob; the same actuators without it; or gas shocks and nothing to wire. It is built to your bed from a dimension sheet and arrives in bare aluminum for your paint. 4 to 8 weeks; made in North America; freight calculated separately.
