It was easy to install stays nice and tight and easily rolls up out of the way if you need to use the full bed for tall objects. I found the best deal on Amazon. http://truxedo.com/truxport/land.php 65 Coronet 500 convertible 69 Fury convertible 69 Roadrunner 75 Scamp 14 Ram 1500 18 Jeep Cherokee www.69roadrunner.net www.plymouthbulletin.com

If I had to do it over I would spray the bed with LINE X first..Then a bedrug which I have now and love it...Then the tonneau of your choice.. 1972 Road Runner / GTX 440 4spd Dana 3.54 Just about to turn 26K original miles.. A boat, a GMC truck, some Craftsman Tools, LOTS of Zombie Protection, and a few Goldfish.. If you love someone set them free.. If they come back it means nobody else wanted them either..!!

I have the roll up on 2 of my trucks, one has been on the for over 450,000 miles since 2006 with no problems. $300.00 at Summit. 2 DOGS 2 CATS NO BIMBOS NO BRATS!

They have several tubular cross bars that roll up with the cover. We get 5 times the snow that you get and I have never seen a damaged one. We sell close to 100 a year.

The other two I have are over ten years old, and still no issues. Snow is not a problem, but I try to get it off as soon as I can. But I have had 18 inches of snow on them before, and no issues with the cover or braces. It does tend to strech the material until you get the weight off, then it tightens back up. The allure for me was it tilts like a hard cover, rolls up like a soft cover, or what I do the majority of time if I need to put tall stuff in the bed, I can lift it off in one piece by myself leaving it snapped to the frame. Super Super versatile. Outcast Dodge guy.
