I made a cover for my short box 69. I think i had 60$ into it, but quite a bit of labor. I will tell you real quick how I did it. I had some c - channel lightweight steel laying around so i welded a frame that was 1/2" smaller than the inside of the box lip and used flat head carriage bolts to secure 1/2" marine plywood to the c - channel frame. Finally covered it with tonneau cover material from a upholstery shop using some adhesive. Sounds kind of simple but it did require some labor. By far the coolest part about it is you can stand on it, put lawn chairs on it, etc. However, it is a 2 person job to remove.
