He could almost build an adjustable aerocap based on the headache rack and adjustable ladder rails! Slap on some sides that can lift out of the way...maybe made of Coroplast or FRP.
That's what I was thinking of doing, get the single bar headache rack and secure the boxes up front to that. Then have leg stand to make the back of the boxes solid. Then mount two short pipes to the top of the boxed in the rear that the back bar from the rackit rack will slide and clip on when I need to carry a ladder. Then I can go from there on a cover. I tried it last night just setting the bar on the boxes and it's only a slight angle so even carrying a 28 ft extension it wouldn't be sticking up too high in the front.
