[FC] Bed cover for Rampside

[Clark Hartzel]

If you don't care about a fold up section behind the cab just go to a place
that makes boat covers.  I had one on an old Rampside that had wooden "bows"
that went into screw-on pockets on the inside of the box.  These bows, when
installed upwards would give the canvas cover some height in the middle to
shed water, like pitching a tent over the box.  Standard snaps down the
sides, front and tailgate would hold the cover down.  
I have seen in person Tim Colson's cover and it works and looks great.

You could try a place that sells spa or hot tub covers.  They have a rigid
foam core, are made to order and you can put the fold where you want.

Got a '62 Rampside being restored -- body work & paint to be done soon.
It's
the rainy season here in Northern CA, so thinking of tonneau cover or other
bed
cover solution.


Of course, the Rampy isn't a "standard" bed size, so one can't just order a
bed
cover that is made for Ford Rangers and other common trucks these days.
Also,
since the bed's so long, am wondering if a soft tonneau cover would droop
too
much in the middle.


I can use a tarp as a temp solution, of course.  But would like something
nicer
for longer term.  Would like to get info on what vendors have any of you
Rampy
owners used?   there are places online that say they will do custom covers,
but
I'd prefer to go to a vendor that one of you has used and recommends

thanks
