Vintage Tonneau Pics?

Quarterwave
Hi everyone,

I'm thinking of adding a vinyl tonneau/cover to the bed of my 85'.

As I remember, they used to have a vinyl cover that used stretchy cord that wrapped around chrome cleats that were screwed into the sides of the bed.

But, I can't find any pictures online or any parts for sale that match that description - everything that I can find is for the newer-style trucks, which won't work for mine (I have the alloy rails bolted into the top sides of the bed).

Any pics or links or ideas are appreciated.

Thanks!

I can't find any pics in any of my literature.  A tonneau doesn't list in the accessories catalog.  However, there is a mention of one in the parts catalog, and there is an illustration for one in there as well.  So I've added that info the page on Exterior/Beds, Tailgates, and Components on the Bed tab.

But note that the 501A42 # shown is a generic part number for a cover.  In fact, it isn't complete as that since it probably needs a "99" in front of it.  And it needs a prefix and a suffix.  So I'll hazard a guess that the part number is E0TZ 99501A2-A,  But I can't find that number on-line, nor anywhere in my documentation.
