I am building a aero cap this summer which im told is far superior to a tonneau cover here is a link to a great build this guy is doing:

hope this helps!!
Yup love that build, just don't know if I have that kind of talent. I put a e fan in my 22re powered Celica and gained about 1.5-2 mpgs, so that is also a possibility in this rig to. Don't remember where but I have seen a graph for pickups where a cab wing and toneau are within a couple hundredths of a perfect aero cap.
Currently the truck runs a little hotter than I like(no grill block yet) got to figure out why.
