Just my opinion, but a nicely designed topper with foam and fiberglass could be built at under 40 pounds. This would utilize similar construction techniques as the Tail.

Hardware to hold it on the truck should only add 5 more pounds.

If on the other hand, you're expecting heavy usage, then as KamperBob said above, you may want to beef things up. I guess it really depends on your particular usage/application.
