Gotcha. Makes sense! Too bad no one makes cheap plastic teardrop forms. Seems like it would be pretty simple to vacuum form a few batches of different sizes.

And, yeah. I'm sure it saved me some money over just having the bed open. But it also seems to have been running lean for years, so that probably artificially boosted the MPG numbers. I have a lot to fix on the truck, though. That's for sure. 700 mile journeys tend to unearth the issues hiding below the surface.
