Photo of bed cover

Hi,

I am searching for a picture of a bed cover for my 55 2nd series 3600 in the same as the right picture of the below link. Photo on the link is a '40 one but I wondering if such cover exist for my '55. I don't even know the name of this kind of 'cover'.

Thanks a lot!
Michel

The one at the bottom.

I am just wondering if this 'canopy' (I am happy, I learned a new word today) was something common for the Task Force.
I plan to make such canopy for my pick-up and I am searching for idea's.

Thanks

Thanks a lot!

I have seen some interesting photos of canopy on internet. I have also sent a private message to Jake53 to ask if he can send me photos of his truck.

Merci !

Re: Photo of bed cover

I made the frame as my ladder rack , later I found an old truck tarp and had an upholsterer sew it up to suit my frame . So all custom made .

Re: Photo of bed cover

Thank you very much Jack53 for the pictures. I have now a good idea on how I will make my canopy!
I will post mine when it will be done.
