Renting a truck will run roughly $2k to make the drive; the Ford is at no cost, well maintained with a low 78k on it, full maintenance history, and has been garaged since new... the only thing wrong with it is the tinting has turned a shade of purple over the years and the fact that it is still a full size truck with a V8.

Regarding low cost or free pickup toppers/canopys, I have been searching the Dallas CL for a few weeks now with nothing suitable (however, if there are any Dallas ecomodders which wish to donate a fitting canopy, I can be there the evening of August 31st to pick it up ). Should one not be found it looks like the route of the DIY tonneau lashed to the bed.
