mrhite65,
Is it hinged or just unlocks and comes off?

You both did a great job and have given me inspiration. It is time for a trip to home depot.

Just unlocks and comes off. I didn't want to mess with a hinge.

I did that on an '85 S-10 when I was fresh out of high school. I wrapped it all in indoor/outdoor "astroturf" type carpet. It worked pretty well.

Best decision for longevity was to use some Thompson's Water Seal on it before wrapping it with the carpet.

I've experimented with different versions on different trucks but, yes this is the best one! What actually makes it work is the shrinking of the vinyl tarp and the bows.
