Rich,

Although I know nothing about AMCO tonneau covers per se, I offer the  
following general points. If you have a way to ask for a measurement  
of the length of the long zipper down the middle of the tonneau I  
would get it.  The original zipper length for a factory  tonneau is  
approximately 31-32".  If the zipper is shorter than 31 " it will  
likely be difficult to fold one side down (driver side) and snap it to  
the heel board behind the seat.  Further, with a short zipper the top  
may not lie flat across the top of the rear shroud when one side is  
folded down and fixed to the heel board.

Also, I notice from the pictures provided that all of the  snaps seem  
to be installed on the cover.  If the placement of the snaps doesn't  
match the positioning of the posts on the car body you may have  
further difficulties. I prefer to install my own snap hardware and get  
it right.
