Customizing Tonneau Covers
I get a ton of calls every week from folks looking for custom made tonneau covers for all sorts of reasons. Whether it be a fire department looking for a custom retractable tonneau cover to fit on a new fire truck or a guy with a 1972 International Scout who simply can't find a tonno to fit his truck. Despite it not being consistent with our business model at BAK Industries to produce custom tonneau covers, I always love the challenge of creating a brand new product and seeing it come to fruition and working well as a solution. No matter what the requirement, I always find myself attracted to helping people out with custom tonneau covers.

Some of the more common custom truck bed covers we produce are for people with toolboxes on the backs of their pickup trucks. For starters, toolboxes, depending on the brand, are always different in size. Some are 18 inches wide, some are 22 inches wide etc. And so, to have a tonneau cover fit perfectly on a truck behind a toolbox requires a custom approach. The distance the toolbox is mounted from the cab wall of the pickup truck is also always a factor in producing a custom tonno. The great news, which most folks don't really realize is that BAK Industries is a company that is fully vertical, with all the tools, machinery, manpower, design skills and in-house capability to produce pretty much any custom tonneau cover very very quickly. Let's say you need a BakFlip tonneau cover to fit behind the toolbox installed in a 2010 Chevy Silverado, we would simply need the distance between the back of the toolbox and the closed tailgate and we can turn a custom tonneau cover out for your set-up within 24 hours! We can do the same with a custom retractable tonneau cover as well.

I have worked with several customers on a custom cover. It is especially effective for guys with over the rail tool boxes. All we need is some accurate measurements to get the cover custom cut.
