We used to have to make ours. I bet that Craftec would make you a nice one?

No drilling any holes in the bed? I didn’t see any install instructions on there website.

Looks like the one I’ll go with as long as I don’t have to drill and tap into my bed.

Later, Frank

No drilling!!! I have used this brand 3 times now and never had a problem. When done you unclamp it and remove it. Never known it was ever on the truck.
