Got two replacement corner bolts and nuts for the two that were bad. Installed those and rewelded the little steel ring retainers so they won't fall off. I think I have a line on a new cover to cut down so waiting to see if that happens.

Hopefully weather will cooperate so I can grind the welds and prime and paint the bed for a finished look. I hate when work gets in the way of the really important stuff;)

I shortened a cover once because i had a wreckerset # 7 in back and wanted 1/3rd bed covered, i had a new 3 color vinyl with attached end curtains, I cut off the back end curtain folded under the the cover untill desired length and put a rope thru while i was folding under when it was just 1 ft past the last bow I pulled the rope and it looked and worked just like a regular ol canvas curtain with no end covers attached, it folded over just nice, the other bows held the curtain under, just a temp thought for U unitll u get a nice one the right size, :)

I thought about that. Found a local guy that has the right equipment that will cut and sew to length a cover for $75. Not too bad for a custom fit cover. Now I just need to get with papacom and get the stuff !

No other pics. Not hard just used two front shackle mounts that I cut off the 3rd mounting hole. I used 7/8 x8" bolts to mount the bar on the shackles.

That is a nice and effective use of space between the bed and spare tire/utility box rack. Ingenious mounting points[thumbzup]. Which bed lining product did you use? Did you sand/media blast prior to application or apply straight up? I have been wanting to do that since I got the truck.

Plasticoat bedliner in the 1 gallon pale. I used a variable speed buffer with 80 grit sand paper to knock off the rust and loose paint and create a surface for the liner to grab on to. I put it on with a paint roller.

that towbar mount is awesome. how long is the truck compared to a full length deuce? about same size? or little long because of the nose?

about the towbar mount how is the lunette secured? is the bolt through it as well?
