Hard Top Tonneau Cover | 1942-72 Ford Flareside Short Bed

Flareside. Thirty years of it. One rigid lid. The Ford Flareside short bed - narrow floor; separate rear fenders; wood between the rails - stayed close enough in shape from the war years through 1972 that one cover spans it. That is a rare thing and it is the reason this part number reads the way it does. It is built from aluminum and stainless so nothing in the assembly can rust; which matters on a bed whose whole design leaves it open to weather from three sides. Electric actuators lift a deliberately light lid and integrated rain gutters and weather stripping keep water moving off rather than through. What you get is a bed you can lock; a wood floor out of the rain; and a truck that still looks like a Flareside from every angle that matters. 172 lbs; built to order; freight calculated separately. Body copy states a 4 to 8 week lead time - the listing metafield says 4 weeks; so confirm the timing when you order.

  • Thirty years on one part number - the Flareside short bed held its shape from 1942 to 1972 and the cover follows it.
  • Nothing rusts - aluminum and stainless on a bed design that is open to weather from three sides.
  • Bed wood out of the rain - the finish you put on that floor stops being a seasonal job.
  • Electric actuators - a rigid lid that opens one handed instead of needing a second person.
  • Gutters and weather stripping - water is routed off the lid rather than held at the seal.
  • Locked storage in a Flareside - the one thing an open narrow bed never gave you.
