Well, the cover arrived Saturday, had my older boy helped me out. We had to modify the bar they sent that goes up against the toolbox. The width of any fullsize truck bed is approximately 64 1/4", the bar was 74 1/4", so we cut it with a hacksaw down to 64 1/4", drilled out the rivets from the l shaped aluminum bracket, drilled the holes to 3/16" popped in two hockey helmet rivet-screws and voila. Clamped the bar upagainst the rails and silcon beaded on the toolbox. then clamped the two side rails and dropped in the cover. All was great until mother nature dumped about 2" rain on us, had to stop for about 2hours and then went back to tighten the 4 bolts that hold the cover on.

92F150Flare, the cover has the velcro down the sides. I will post pics as soon as I get the camera out of my wife's hands and upload a few.

Thanks for the input on the install. Just leaves me wondering what were they thinking when they put that bar in the box....
