 Subject: Wanted: Cheapest locking bedcover

Message:
I've been digging around the net for awhile now, but can anyone point me to a very low-cost lockable cover for my '99 Dakota Sport truck bed (preferably under $500)?
I'll be moving across country and will probably only use the cover once (then sell it again), so I just need the bare minimum that least offers a minimal amount of security.

Actually the plywood is tempting :) It's gotta lock though.
It doesn't matter if it's a bed cap or tonoue cover....

a few years ago while on vacation I saw a dude that had a large plywood box with a lid and a locking hasp bolted to the bed of his truck.

i think the title probably goes to the Checkmate cover-

The only problem is that you're gonna have to drill for it.
If you're using the truck to haul your junk across country, tho, you'll probably be better off with a cap- you can carry a lot more stuff that way. You'd be surprised at how many things don't fit under a hard tonneau.

Dave: Are you sure I would have to drill with the Checkmate cover? It's the cheapest cover I've seen so far.

I owned a Checkmate cover - you have to mount the quick-release hinges, the tonneau latches, and the gas shock mounts with screws directly into the sheet metal - it is best if you drill a pilot hole first.
At $349 plus shipping and coming in black or white gelcoat (paint is extra) you can't beat the price, but they are not as sturdy as the other hard tonneaus - it's a simple foam core with two sheets of fiberglass matting surrounded by an aluminum frame.
