seems like about 80% of superduties are short beds so not much for long beds
finding a longbed truck is just as hard

If your looking for a retractable bed cover then the Roll N Lock is what I have and recommend. It has always kept everything in my bed dry.

I have a Long Bed with a Leer shell.It was about 1500 bucks.
I love it,looks good and protects my gear from the elements,it won't stop thieves from getting your stuff,but I don't leave anything in there if I'm going to be away from it too long.

I got mine used under $500 so color didn't matter to me. It is a mid height safari unicover. I found it listed on ebay years ago and it was about a 4 hour drive one way so add in a tank of fuel and it was still under $600. The thing was like new. the guy that sold it had got a 5th wheel a few months before and didn't want to keep removing and putting it back on so lucky me.
