I just had a custom one done. It's not to the level of quality I wanted, but I didn't pay much and the quality has more to do with the upholsterer than anything else. I wanted old school, traditional, not new style sleek.

Comet thats Bitchin!!

I also have a custom type, similar to comets, although mine is attached on top rather than stretching over the edges of the bed.
It fits well, and keeps most of the weather out but doesn't keep the inside of the bed 100% dry. if I had my time again I would have them bend the support bars underneath as a curve rather than a dead bend in the middle.

EXTANG has one to fit the long bed slicks. Works great but is not 100% watertight but close.

Leeroy, I know what you mean, have a go at making some new ones, what have you got to loose!!

[Leeroy]

Did that with my last kings wood ute..... I lost 2 bl00dy bars!!!
Father law has a bender I might give it a crack with.

[Alan Mclennan]

OH NO!, Not the Kingswood!

I just got a roll top one. I know they make them for a lot of trucks, I bet one would be a close fit.

I would love to have one on my '63.

The biggest proble with getting one for the uni is the fitment around the cab.

The biggest proble with getting one for the uni is the fitment around the cab.

They can sew a small piece of 'rope' inside the vinyl at the cab end, and you can run a small channel for it to slot into below the window. Thats actually how mine attaches at the cab end.


The small part between the press stud and the channel is what makes mine not so water proof, it's only small but heavy rain and I can get some small spots of water in the bed. This wouldnt be a problem on the uni as you could run the channel all the way across. Could even paint it body colour so you couldn't see it!

That tilt blackmax is a good looking system. I would have to have it in white for Ruby.

I live the Full Tilt but would get black. White would be a bitch to keep clean unless it only went outside on nice days.

I have the Black Max and it works great. Completely on or off in 20 minutes.
