Race car tow vehicle - my pickup, Best solution for covering PU bed Options

[Randal]

Looking for member's opinions on the different covers for pickup beds; given that I'll be taking this truck to the track and would like security for overnight parking at motels.

If you like yours post a picture! Thanks.

Options:

1. Complete cover that lifts up and is held up with gas shocks

2. Vinyl cover that folds towards the front to access the PU bed

3. Vinal cover that is stretched over a frame

4. ?

Thanks.

it can be removed by 2 people (sorta, Sherryl helped me once, she dropped her side and the corner of the lid went straight into and thru one of the rear tail light assemblies on my 914)

I have a one year old Frontier and am debating this same issue. I previously had a 92 Nissan Hardbody with a cab-height fiberglass shell. Used this for years and liked it. I slept in it at the Daytona 24 hrs and Sebring 12 hrs races and used it to carry tons of camping gear for long trips. Plenty of relatively secure weatherproof storage. But the co-owner of the new truck says no way to a new shell. She hated the loss of rear visibility caused by the tunnel-like shell and also the three layers of glass that you have to look through, especialy when covered by rain and dirt. I sort of agree with her on this, but would probably get one anyway. She'll agree to a fiberglass tonneau type cover, but although I like the security and looks okay, I'm not sure I want the hassle when I want to carry something that is taller than the bed sides. How often do I really carry big stuff? Not too often, but I don't know... (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/confused24.gif)
