You are one of the first NNBS trucks I have seen that have the street scene mirrors. I didnt know if they would still look good on the new trucks. Yup they still look good with their classic design. What do you mean by homemade bed cover? Overall looks great.

Thanks for the compliments. I made the bed cover frame using 1 inch aluminum angle. It is riveted together using 3 inch angle brackets. It has four support brackets also made from 1 inch aluminum. I then riveted down .040 sheet aluminum, covered that with 1/4 foam and then black fabric.
I bolted it to the inside bed rail at 3 locations down each side. It's lightweight and could easily be made to flip up. Using aluminum wasn't cheap. Its not water tight, but i wanted something that would sit flush. I couldn't find anyone who made what I wanted. Came out pretty decent.
