Tonneau Cover - Stake Pockets
 
I didn't find too many options out there for Tonneau Covers, of course a custom maker could make whatever you need.

I put a Truxedo RealTruck Lo Pro on my 72C20, which actually fit pretty good. I had to order an extra front rubber seal, which was wider, to cover the front of the bed from them. The rear over the tailgate fit well.

The problem is your stake pockets are not covered. I ended up putting some made for late model Dodge trucks that are very close to the proper size. I got some double sided sticky tape and spent the time cutting and placing it all around the edges. I was not confident that they would stay in, especially at highway speeds and these Michigan potholes :)

Just for info if any other members are looking at their options for Tonneau covers and stake pockets.

I'm glad you flipped the picture. I absolutely refuse to stand on my head in the morning as I usually do things like that at night, so I've been told! By the way my cover also covers the pockets.

Thanks for the flip. Posted from my phone and could not figure it out on why it's upside-down.

Thanks HO455 for the photo.
That’s the look I’m interested in.
I like how that covers the stake pockets and the top of the tail gate.
Your tonneau looks like a tri-fold , correct?
Could you please elaborate on the manufacturer and model number for a square body?
Thanks :chevy:

I have the same Lo Pro Tonneau as you do. I opened your EBay kink and wondering are the stake pocket an after market product or a Chrysler part witha part number.

Not sure, but I think they are aftermarket product.

I don't have a tonneau cover, but I used 1988-1998 Chevy truck tie downs in the stake pockets of my 1972, so that might be a good application to look for in regard to stake pocket covers.
