:02redxbla What you need is to make a frame that goes along the top of your bed. the metal should about 1"-1 1/2" wide and not very thick. then weld the metal sheet on top of the frame to give support to it so it doesn't bend. then to make it real cool is to buy two actuators that will raise your bed cover by a flip of a switch. you can get them at www.autoloc.com
