Hey man, that cover is slick! I'd like to see some pix of how it's held in place and constructed if you don't mind. Been toying with this idea myself for some time now. Always open for ideas...

I think with the white roof it ties in even better very innovative, and nice work dude.

do you have a build thread? I'd love to see more of your truck. What color green is that? it's almost exactly what I want as my accent color.

I never did a Tread when i built this truck.....but I have some posted on my Facebook.
Its not a Great truck....Just an Ol' skool build just the way I would have built it back in the 60's.....No drop springs and all that stuff....just clean and simple

sorry, should've been more specific on my part...i was actually referring to the edges & how it fits flush down into the bed instead of lipping over...i like how yours fits inside the bed, which is why i ask....once again, nice work!

Oh Sorry man, I just tig welded some 1" x1" aluminum angle around the inside of the bed and screwed in with #8 x 3/4 screws. I guess I should learn to make build treads. Sorry.
Here's some photos I took today for ya

its a great truck bro. who's are the other 2 next to you? club members?

being in the beautiful northwest, only thing I can think is you may need to scrub the occasional mildew off the vinyl, like our boats up here! lol
