Default looking for a bed cover...

i'm looking for a specific bedcover but don't know who makes it. i'm looking for one to fit a 2002 silveardo

its a flush mount cover but its wide enough to cover the stake pockets in the bed. fiberglass i would assume and paintable.

anybody know anything about these? reliability? quality? price? where to fine one?

"virtually flush with and between the side rails of a truck "

i too would like a bedcover that is like what you mentioned. if you find one please let me know.
in one of my truckin magazines, truckin' street or sport trucks... cant remember has a black excab gmc with flames thats bagged body dropped on 20/22s with the bedcover you're looking for, but it doesnt say in the article what brand it is.

i found one in truckin' that is an over the rail extremely low profile fiberglass. its made by innovation. their website is HERE i'm talking about the street sport model. but they have no prices listed and its still not a b/n the rails flush mount.

i've decided to do 1 of 3 things:
1)just get a snugtop and be done with it
2)get a flush mount and get someone to put new rails on it that cover the stake pockets (which i'm sure will be a major PITA)
3)check with my body man and see how much he'd want to just shave the stake pockets and then put a regular flush mount on.

snug top has one that covers the whole bed and wraps down the sides a little. i think it is the best looking one very low profile. snug top but i do not know if this is the kind you are talking about. does it cover the bed rails and not wrap over them?

snugtop makes a very good bedcover. my friend ZeroG10201 has one and i believe Greg does too..

but i was looking for more of one like the slimtop, only it covered the bedrails but didn't wrap over. i wanted it just big enough so that the stake pockets couldn't be seen. i don't think there is one made by anyone though so oh well.

Hey Crazy,I had a flush mount like you are talking about on a 85 silveraldo.Now I have the ******* over the rail cover on my 99.The flush mount on my old one chipped the paint on the inside of the bedrails as the bed flexed.And I only had the truck 6 months after that.The one I have now on my new one I have had for 3 years and no problems what so ever.Just something to think about.
