Truck Bed Cover

Has anyone made a cover for the Unibody truck bed?

I'm interested in something solid like metal or fiberglass. I don't want vinyl.

I think I want it to overlap the bed on all 4 sides to keep out water.

My son made one for his 66 2wd out of wood and lexan. Wood frame hooked into the steak holes and sealed with rubber and covered with a lexan sheet.

Interesting.

How did he get the wood frame to "hook" into the stake holes?

Got any pictures?

With the wood fitting sug and going down into the holes about 6", that way it can be lifted or removed. He is on the msn site for Slick 60's trucks, I don't know if he has posted pictures ther or not. I do know that it works good and has been driven at over 65 mph with no problems.

Sorry, I don't have a picture of it. He has wood about 6" long on the bottom of the frame that fits sug into the post holes, it can be lifted off or up to the cab. ATruck has been driven at 65 mph with no problem of it coming off.
