One of those fiberglass things that mounts on top of your bed rails behind the truck cab with access through the cab back window, so you can have a bed in there and crawl back and forth easily. or jump seats

They are usually the kind that don't cover the whole bed- just a couple of feet or so...

JC- if you want me to look around up this way for you, I'll be glad to. I'll wait to hear from you first, though, since it will be a full day's trip for you to come get it if I find one!

Try Capri campers or M and M. They can make you anything you want.

Looks more cramped than the bunks on a Navy ship, especialy for anyone over 6'2".

JC, I may be stuck waiting till I get my truck running again so I can take it to a welder to cut the front bumper off, I just haven't had any luck with it. Plus a couple torn muscles in my lower back havent helped with working on the truck lately.
