Started the day by selling some crappy brackets I inherited from a property's previous owner for $80. Literally a product designed to let people who have no business building throw up a crappy shed that will collapse in a couple years.

Anyways, took my $80 and bought 2 things - 1) a nice cool 6 pack, and 2) spent $70 on this cap including (4) c-clamps.

It's old/period correct but most important is it serves as a cheap way for the bed to act as dry storage when I need it to. All aluminum, doesn't weigh much. Side windows open, close, and lock.

20 years ago I remember those things being free and people picking them up to make free firewood lean to roofs. Down here I guess there's a market for them because people actually use them to sleep under???

Did you hop over the border by chance?
My buddy is coming home from the 'ghani this Friday. He's been away for 5 months and the 2019 ZR1 has been climate controlled at 65 degrees. He's supposed to quarantine for 2 weeks, but what do you really think is going to happen? :unsure:

He's going to do his two weeks in lock-up, right after doing 200mph.

If you seek and upgrade, be aware that caps for the 1980s-1997 long bed Pferds have the same dimensions as the square body long beds. I found a decent Snugtop of that vintage, and other than the fact that I parked it under a leaky Pinion tree, it's in nice shape. It replaced an aluminum one that had a tough life in a hail storm. I could crawl under the aluminum one, lift if off with it on my back and walk it off the truck solo. Can't do that with a Snugtop!
