I picked up a '79 cover at a car show for $25.00. Works great! Just be sure to use the correct bolts, lock washers for all four bolts and two flat washers for the two front bolts; otherwise they might crack the housing.

I have bought a composite spring, shocks, rear cover, and a new set of bolts from Justin in the last couple weeks. Excellent products, knowledge, service, and quick shipping.
