Nothing listed for a 72 lwb..... :x

I've been wondering....?..... if there is so much interchangeability between the 67-72 and the 73-79 models, what would the difference be in the bed covers?.... i guess i ought to break out the tape measure to see if there is a physical difference.......

I'll make a point of doing some measuring today. I'd forgot all about this..... only problem, the '75 i have access to is a swb, i have a lwb, you'd still have to consider the length.....

96 3/4 IS CLOSE ENOUGH TO 96 1/2 FOR GOVERNMENT WORK. :wink:

I work at a truck accesorie store and we sold gaylord(no now though) and jobber on a 72 swb was $885. I don't belive you can buy direct. When we sold them it would have run you about $700. You don't even want to know gaylords list price($1185). It is a good cover. There are other covers availble for these trucks.

I thought it said A.R.E. but the picture gets fuzzy when I zoom in so who knows. Also it looks like it may be off of a late model truck.

It might be A.R.E I can't even zoom in. The back corners look a bit off to me though now that I look again or is that my imagination
