Larry, some food for thought. I built a Dakota back in 97. The wheel tubs where flanged about 1" and were pop riveted from inside the bed. My thought was if I or someone ever wanted to change colors the rivets could be drilled out and and the bed could slide the length of the tub opening. My main hoop supports to the rear centered half in the tub and half in the bed. You may be working on this right now, but thought I would speak up. I had an aluminum cover on the bed painted truck color of course with about an 18" hinged access lid for fuel and battery service. I was trying to find a picture. I have one somewhere.

Keep up the good work!
