Anyone know where to get the old school snap type bed cover that people use to have on the step side beds? I have a 1979 c10 step side that has the snaps riveted to the bed rails and would like to get the old style bed cover for it. I am having no luck finding the ones that snap directly to the bed, looks like they all have rails that the snaps mount to. let me know, thanks

I believe a lot of those were either all leather or all canvas. You could probably have an upholstery shop make one really easily. Not sure on what the cost would be though.

Yep, they were probably all custom made by canvas or upholstery shops.

You can get the materials from:

Be sure to get the marine grade and you won't have to worry about rust or non-UV stabilized material.
