    I found a frame for a "Pic-up Poncho" in an old building that I working on and was wondering if anyone has seen one of these before?
    It's like a removable convertable top for the bed.
    I found a 1948 dealer options sheet for Dodge trucks but it looks like it would fit others.
    The Dodge info states that i would fit a 78 1/8 inch bed. Is that around the size of the bed of the Chevy/GMC?

    Thanks
    David.

    Wow! That's too cool! I am sure this would be worth a bit of cash for someone wanting to "be different". Any campers out there?
