Brett (AKA Bondo), It is quite interesting that I just this January went and bought a new 2008 Dodge Truck, for the express purposes of, among other reasons (towing), to make a similar or same, aero cap as yours. I have three variations to this idea in mind to date.

It was a Dakota Extra Cab with full box and two doors. Essentially the same as the Ford pics at the top of this thread. It is a Blue SXT for reference.

Now - what can we do to help make this happen? Can a Set of Plans be created for sale? How about a builder Kit arrangment following that? Do you think it would fit my truck as is? How much funding would you need to start one-off builds of this until you can get - say 10 - 20 of them made?
