    Has anyone installed a "hard shell" tonneau cover on their '35-36 Ford pickup?

    As others have posted, "great post!" I just did post on this forum, so, I hope a few will reply with a "magic" answer to my quest! The original owner installed a wooden (plywood) sliding cover. Great idea but 1) not water resistant/proof and 2) hard to remove. I'm hoping that one of the fiberglass one-piece shells will work. However, can't find one for the flared style bed sides. I'll probably have to do a bit of retrofitting to make one fit. Thanks, again!

    I have contemplated making my own using pink foam board and gluing fiberglass sheets to it. Sandwich the foam in between.
    Similar to a motorhome siding.

    That way it's custom fit. I would use the original stake pockets to locate it.

    I have been looking for something like the Tuxedo soft cover design that would keep the bed clean/dry but still allow it to roll up when you need to haul something.
