Bed Covers? Custom Made??
The only thing really left to be done on my truck is a box cover. The PO made some kind of ugly contraption out of plexiglass and I hate it. The only problem is I really can't get much for my truck because I don't want to drill holes and I can't use the type that clamps on to the bed either because the rear end is customized and that setup just won't work.
So right now what I am going to look into is a custom made one. Anybody done anything like that? I was thinking of just getting one made at an upholstery place and having velcro put on it to fasten it down. Any idea how much something like this would cost? If it isn't too bad, I might ask for that for christmas or my birthday.....

I've seen the fiber glass ones, I think they look to flat, they don't seem to blend into the truck very well. I like the roll up tarp ones, that work on a slide, I think the slides just clamp on no holes to drill, not sure of the prices

I'm having a soft cover custom made soonish, this is really out of neccesity as being in the UK makes it expensive to import one. I have scored some 2" aluminium angle, enogh to go around three sides of the bed so it will be made into a frame designed to bolt on via the stake pockets and the cover will snap on to that. I'll also make some bows to stop water pooling in the middle.
