Re: Truck top, solid bed cover

stepside454 built a pretty bad ass one a while back.
I have plans made to build one just the same for my '66 stepper, but I havent got around to it yet.
Here are some pictures of his:

Re: Truck top, solid bed cover

I built this years back but it ended up being to heavy. I put steel on top and it was 14g....I wanted 16g and the place I picked it up gave me this. Anyway, I welded a frame that fit inside the bed and then added the metal on top. These are the only pics I can find. I would suggest doing it in aluminum if at all possible.
