topper opinions needed
I have this topper for my truck - I got it used at a good price (50.00 bucks) and I want to know the best way to mount it - right now i have four C clamps securing it. However i found four bolt holes on each side in which the former owner drilled into the bed rails to mount it. I'm not sure if clamps will hold it or do I NEED to drill and bolt it down? What's you opinion?

If you don't want to drill your truck full of holes, they make a clamp just for camper shells that work much better than c-clamps. You should be able to find them at an RV place for sure, they may even be available at some parts stores.. I think they come in a set of 4 but if I were going to use them I would rather have 3 on a side (I have been accused of going overboard on things though), that looks to be a fairly heavy camper shell.

While I don't have a topper on my current truck, on my old Dodge I did something clever. I welded together a big "U" out of angle iron and placed it on top of the bedsides and front, then put my topper on that, bolting through the topper, the angle iron, and the bed sides.
Then, to the angle iron, I bolted on quite a few "D" rings down both lengths... it was great for tying things down - tool boxes, engines and other larger car parts, and so on.
