W1 - width of bed at front (cab end)
W2 - width of bed at across the mid point
W3 - width of bed at back / rear (tailgate end)
You need to take the length in 2 places. The lengths L1 and L2 must be taken with the tailgate up. See pictures below.
L1 - length of bed, left hand side (length taken from roll to tailgate in up position). See pictures below.
L2 - length of bed, right hand side (length taken from roll to tailgate in up position). See pictures below.

Important notes -
The front of the cover butts up against the roll across the front of the bed therefore -
The "length of the bed" dimensions are taken from the rear of the roll behind the cab. (See pictures above).
The lengths L1 and L2 must be taken with the tailgate up. See pictures above.
The width at the tailgate, W3 is best done with the tailgate down. See pictures above.
The truck used for the prototype development had widths of -
W1 - 1267mm, W2 - 1271mm, W3 - 1269mm, L1 - 1945mm, and L2 - 1941mm.
This resulted in a tonneau cover of 1928 long x 1249mm wide and supports of - left = 1925mm - right - 1920mm
This meant the cover was about 20-25mm narrower than the bed and about 10-15mm shorter than the
bed length. The hardware kit supports were also about 10mm - 15mm shorter than the bed length.
This is ideal as it means at the left and right hand side of the cover, there is a 10mm drainage channel.
It also means there is about 5mm at the front and back of both the channel and the front and back of the cover,
for the sealing foam. It is important for you to understand all of this so that you take the measurements
accurately and then we, in turn, can manufacturer a perfectly fitting cover for you. Also we are well
aware of the fact that a 60+ year old truck will not have standard bed dimensions. There were probably
size fluctuations between one truck and another in 1947-53 and that problem can only have increased
over the years. We would expect the two channels to be of unequal length but they might be the same.
This is the reason why we need all of these dimensions.
If you find your truck is similar to ours and a cover of 1928 long x 1249mm wide will work for you,
that is ideal, let us know, otherwise we will work out what you need once we receive the form.
Remember this cover will be custom made to fit your truck.
