May 6, 200916 yr Nothing like torturing you all with this... but I was up at the Rite Aid in Marysville WA this morning and a gen 1 brat (I think it was reddish or brown?) with a hard black bed cover WITH LOUVERS on it drove by! Anyone know who this is? Board member? Never seen one of those covers in person Sorry I dont have a camera phone, and even if I did I wouldn't have been able to pull it out fast enough But they DO exist out there!! We need to find this brat and reproduce the cover!
May 6, 200916 yr the hard covers are nice, but not totally sealed of course because of the louvers. I had one on a 78, and found the remnants of one in a junkyard, and salvaged a few of the louvers.... but they don't open up very high, so it limits what you can put in the bed.... People have tried to reproduce the soft covers, but not enough interest/money to make it happen..... I fear this would meet the same fate....
May 7, 200916 yr Author probably... we need someone independently wealthy to front the money to reproduce all these rare parts. I volunteer... who wants to give me a winning lotto ticket
May 8, 200916 yr probably... we need someone independently wealthy to front the money to reproduce all these rare parts. I volunteer... who wants to give me a winning lotto ticket I will sell you my winning ticket. It will require a 2k processing fee up front to complete the transaction. i will pm you with the proper bank routing numbers to send the money.

What percentage of a complete cover would you say you have? If I could someday borrow the pieces to make new molds, I would happily lay one up for you pro bono, so that I could have one for my BRAT eventually. Several other covers could be pulled from those molds for interested parties. I just need to raise the fiberglass skills and funds first...
