I decided to construct a cargo cover. I have tubular bed rails so I had to become creative on removable bow mounts. I made small stubs that bolt to the rails to accept the bows. The bows are made from 2" exhaust tubing to match the rail size. The bows have swedged ends and are adjustable in height just by adding different length tubes at the bottoms of each bow. Other than the bolts to hold the stubs everything is slid together and the canvas holds it all together.
The canvas is only 10x14 and is perfect size for what I needed. I did modify the canvas by adding 3/8" rod inside of the hems on all 4 sides. This keeps the canvas from flapping and allows for a "hatch" of sorts at the tailgate end.
The pics are of when I first tied it all down and the method has changed since but just wanted to share my accomplishment.

Is that a 58 Cheby? Do you have a fancy for old blue vehicles? I'm jealous.
