Freebeard, that look might nice, the wood work would look nice is glassed well. Interesting project too.
Aardvarcus, thanks for the insight. I don't want a sharp drop off right above the tailgate, that is why I went a few inches out with the 45 or maybe 30 degree cut off. I figured this would do a few things. First, allow more attachment to further reduce the area. Second, allow any window or aerocap attachments some protection from sun, rain, snow both on the go or stationary. I really like the idea of a camera back there for backing up and hooking up. My trucks butt is so high, I have to use a 14" drop hitch to get the tongue of my cargo trailer "almost" level. Still could go down 2" more. So lights, camera, window, maybe a latch system. I haven't decided if I want the whole aerocap to lift up, or if I want a hatch down the length of the main bed.. I would love to see your build!
Thanks for the reply guys.. please keep the suggestions coming!
