If you want one of the hard shell 'glass or plastic ones they run more. Did a google search and found LOTS of suppliers. Have a soft cover made locally myself.

As John said, they cost a few bucks. ------------------ Rick 72 El Camino (http://www.endrud.net/elcamino/rick1972elky.html) TPI 350/700r4 (http://chevelles.com/showroom/ricks%20motor%20-L) NECOA #00149 (http://www.necoa.org/images/Elky149.jpg) ACES #00140 TEAM CHEVELLE #0038 [This message has been edited by rick (edited 11-03-2002).] RAMBO Nov 4th, 02, 5:20 PM One idea to consider if going with a soft top- Have them put the snaps in the bed chrome instead of the body. Much easier to change out the bed chrome later than to have to fill all those holes.

If you are going to do that and yours is in good condition..look on ebay for a set that someone is trading up from. ------------------ 71 SS-454 El Camino SSuper Dave Nov 4th, 02, 9:46 PM I have seen the hard covers from the El Camino store and they are VERY nice!
