Well, I decided it was time to try something else, and best of all, I got the time to do it...
What better to do on a Sunday morning in 45 degree weather?
I sourced the wood and built a partial bed cover for the truck.
4 - 1x12x4 white pine
1 - 1x10x8 white pine
1 - 2x2x8 pine
My bed is 54.75" wide at the rails
1x12 boards are NOT 12" wide!
1x10 boards are NOT 10" wide!
However, if you place 4 of the 1x12s and 1 of the 1x10s side by side, you get 54.375 (54 3/8) wide...
I have a 6' bed, so 4' long is plenty... and it is currently recessed into the bed about 3/8"
Here it is...
The Best part?
The first run to work this morning gained me 3 MPG Avg... 27.1! and in 37 degree weather!!
It cost me about $35 for materials...
Now I'm thinking about a belly pan...
