post you bed covers

[69lsxamx]

If you would post pictures of custom made bed covers. I'm wanting to build one for my lightning out of sheet metal and a aluminum frame. I wanted to see if anyothers have been done and how they turned out.

The guys at west bend dyno built this one. Carbon fiber panels in a custom aluminum frame.
Those boys are incredible!

That's awesome. I bought my truck with a fiberglass flush mount bed cover but it was so frigging heavy I took it off. For now it's also used as a truck some times and I'm hauling stuff in the bed.

Anyone have experience building bedcovers with an aluminum composite material such as this (http://alpolic-usa.com/products/)?

Looking for ideas how to do a flush mount with a weatherstripped edge, holes for roll cage rear bars to enter the bedcover, and hinge it for access.

Wish i did. Heck, come to the optima street car challenge at road america and talk to them in person. Haha

Talk to Alex (871BOLT) on the NLOC lightning forum. He has and is presently building a custom cover for another lightning owner. http://www.nloc.net/vbforum/bala/

Our bed cover

[jlcustomz]

Built mine from .063 aluminum.While it has a 59 chevy fin style to it, It serves the hidden task of larger dry, locked, & hidden carrying capacity. Weighs a little over 80 lbs in it's blown up size, which is far less than a flush Gaylords cover.Besides, didn't really want any part of my truck to be GAY.

These are both outdated pics of the vehicle , but the best bedcover pics I had.

My first flush bedcover had a thin aluminum angle edge, aircraft style wood framing with a slight top arch, & a 3/32" fiberglass skin. Cover weighed less than 50 lbs by itself.
