AUTOWEEK carried an article for a Gale Banks GMC LSR pickup which sported the 1/2-tonneau for it's 211-mph run at Bonneville.
If this isn't it, the thing uses the same principle.


Here's the Banks Sidewinder. Notice the half tonneau.


The next question is, why? It would seem that this opening would impede the vortex that leads high speed air over the virtual template.
