Is there anyone, who can help me with this problem?
I have (actually me and my girlfriend) made very good bed cover for my ´80 El Camino. Its nice and fits great, BUT, how I attach it to the body?? Any tips are welcome! Is there any websites to look at? _________________ GM A-body, what a sexy body

I made a frame up for my '72 , that fits on the inside of the bed and then used tonneu cover snaps to attach it. I didn't want to drill into the chrome bed moldings...hope this helps.

My bed cover is held down by snaps (which are going away). You can get the snaps at some craft stores or leather supply stores. To put them on the bed, you will have to drill holes around the bed itself and you will either use screws to attatch them or pop rivets. _________________ V/R
