I have enjoyed my 46 chevy for many years...I have always towed a matching trailer when we travel
I would like to not have to tow the trailer anymore. So that will entail making/buying a cover for the bed

It would be great if any of you would share your experiences in obtaining a cover...I am leaning towards
a one piece..
Any thoughts would be appreciated

Thanks

What size truck are you talking about ?

What do you mean by "cover for the bed"
Is that a tonneau cover , topper , Camper , or something else .

Have you google image searched for ideas.

Can you add a picture of your truck showing the bed?

Check this bed cover out. They start at 1947 but may be able to steer you in the right direction.

Aren’t the bed lengths the same for a 46 and 47? I’m pretty sure they are. but the width might be the catch.

A cover for a 46 is tough to find. I did find these places you can try.
