Re: My first real post - Building a fleet side box cover

Dan, I just followed your great thread. Nice truck!
(I chuckled when I read someone say that you paid too much for a solid truck at $5800, but yet people will spend a huge amount of hours making a truck as solid as your starting point. At that price I figure you literally saved many thousands of $$).

Regarding the tonneau cover mounting, on your step-side box, the side roll outwards to form the box rails. On the fleet side box they are folded to the inside like a modern truck, so I could use the clamps to hold the subframe.

I'd guess in your case that you would have to bolt the subframe to you box wall, or use a different hinge setup and bolt that on.
