I've received three swatches so far with no joy. I'm trying to match the Arizona Beige and nothing has come close. Truxedo was one of the suppliers, but I can't tell you the other two because I tossed the envelopes when I saw how off the colors were.

Wish I could be of more help. I'm under the impression that you'll have to get a custom job and that would probably be expen$ive.

Peter,

I did a little splitting and merging to get your post into the correct thread.

Has anyone had any recent luck matching the A. B. Tonneaus.

Ya'll can add me to the growing list of people trying to find one. If it was not for the price I would perfer the aluminum roll tops. Has any one purchased one and if so what do you think of them. I would think that you could take that to a body shop and get it painted to match the A.B. Any thoughts?

Update......

I've still been searching for a matching colored vinyl and I think I've found one as close as possible (from all the sources I've investigated). It's from the SIERRA-MONTANA Enduratex Automotive Vinyl Collection SIE-6981 Med. Neutral.

The company, CGPC America Corporation in Industry, CA has a web site where you can view the product and also order a sample (you get a collection of 61 colors of automotive vinyl). My wife picked the Med. Neutral (SIE-6981) as the closest match after comparing the samples to the actual Arizona Beige King Ranch tonneau cover on my truck (and she "knows" her colors).

I am going to order some and make a replacement cover for mine (following the pattern and using a heavy duty sewing machine that a friend has for making sails). It should be interesting.

The company sent me a larger sample and the color is close enough to make the replacement cover. Have not started it yet as we are getting ready to sell our house and move (building a new place in the mountains). When I get the time..............

The OEM King Ranch logo tonneau cover is holding up just fine.

Yeah but, unfortunately, they're nearly IMPOSSIBLE to find now. They made them in 2001 and the last stock slowly dwindled through 2002.

They're rare now...

Where are my manners?!? Hey Geo! We're glad to have you aboard. Give us some truck specs when you get a chance!!

Well, you guys really have me second-guessing myself now.

I received some swatches from XTang and thought that the tan color was a very close match. Anyone else seen this color so I can guage if I'm going color blind? I was going to actually order it today. Mine's going on an '05 so I don't know itf the colors have changed or not.

Arizona Beige Tonneau

I looked, and looked for the "correct" 05 tonneau and came up empty. I ordered a black folding cover (very low profile) for mine. I will put up the pics when I receive and get it installed.
