My gut sez that this cap would likely be pretty good air flow. I really like the "massing" of it -- I wanted to preserve as much of t_vago's original design as possible, but only real-life tuft testing will tell.

I added the gap infill at the cab / bed junction, and a 1" trailing lip:

I think adding a "Cyclops" brake light in the obvious spot would be a good thing?
