Title: Measurements Needed - 1965-67 Tonneau Cover Hardware
Post by: 196667Bob on February 10, 2022, 01:29:01 PM

Does anyone have an Original 1965-67 Ford Tonneau Cover (made for Ford by B.T. Crump Co.) that still has the two leather straps for attaching to the dash ? Mine is missing both.
Currently, there are two listed on Ebay, one black and one white, by two different Sellers ; both have the straps. I have contacted both Sellers 3 times, and not even a "No" response.

I am hoping that someone "out there" has these so that they could take the measurements shown in the attached pictures for me.

Thanks in advance, for any help.

Bob

Interestingly, about a day or two after I first Posted this "Wanted" Ad, both of the Sellers that I had contacted three times, got back to me. Either it was coincidence, "third time is a charm", or maybe they both read our Forum's Wanted Ads, but it really doesn't matter. The main thing is that both got back to me with the dimensions. They both agreed with all except the length ; one measured 3-1/4", the other 3-3/8". Both measured the width at 5/8" and the thickness as 1/8". Only one measured the "Lift-the-dot" stud length, and he came up with 1/2".

Attached are pictures showing the measured dimensions for any future searches.

I'd be curious to see more images and information about this cover (perhaps it needs it's own thread).
