I've found links in the forum for Tonneau covers, but they're all for short beds. Does anyone know where I could find a cover for a long bed?

I doubt you could find one off the shelf these days. I would try an auto upholstery shop and have them make you one with velcro to hold it on. I have one with the snaps and they are a pain when it gets old and the cover shrinks a little.

That's something I've thought about.
Did you buy yours or have it made at a shop?

Mine came on my truck when I bought it (2010) and is 25 years old at least.

Mine is what you'd call a "2nd gen" long bed, but I have the same problem. I don't care for fabric covers, so I've tried to find something like the Roll-N-Lock cover, but the metal one--not fabric.

The video says it's "for everyone" but they don't offer it for the LUV or P'up. :(

I've seen a lot of the fiberglass ones around and thought it would not take much to put one together for a Luv. Thought I would throw my two cents in. I haven't looked into it, but I have to ask around.

I had the same thought a fiberglass cover would be really nice to have. And they arent real but even a few extra lbs in the back would be nice.. maybe thin around 1/16" wood sheets laid onto a bed sized wooden frame to get a little curve then fiberglassed over top? You could work some latches into it to lock in down into the tiedown loops
Not sure how they make them factory. More than likely a reinforced fiberglass molding process none of us are gonna invest in for a few covers

I am actually cutting down a Toyota Tacoma hard cover now to fit my LUV.
