Interesting Tonneau

[TexasRho83]

This pic was sent to me by Jeff (CEO) at Superbumper - it's a customer's truck sporting the superbumper (has ball hitch instead of plain pipe). I thought the cover looked interesting...

I wonder whats under there to create that bump...

Those bumper things are really cool, may have to get one for my mom and gf. Anyway, I've seen those covers before, can't remember who makes them though. There's one on medium blue/canary yellow 79 short bed and the cover was paint matched...very tastefully done I might add. Except where the one in the pic says F-O-R-D, the one here has a blue oval.

Yeah I dont really like covers, but that one's kinda got my attention

That style was popular in the 70's. They might be trying to bring it back

They COULD modernize it. Maybe a couple bumps at the front . . . maybe more rounded . . . maybe curves out to a . . . SPOILER.

I just got mine in the mail lol. They're pretty basic looking but the concept is definitely worthy...

On that truck in that color, I 100% agree. However, if it would stay in the 70's where it should on a 70's Ford with paint matched color, it looks pretty decent.

Sweet...so what are you gonna try it out on first? Cuz you know you are. Start small...maybe bumper to a wall, then maybe to a tree and gradually work your way up to something expensive. I expect a full report.

Well, I should put them on ol Blue because the bumper isn't painted, but I cant stand the thought of bumping into a wall or dumpster and messing up her grill (probably won't happen I know) so will probably try them out on the '05 lol

Tell ya what...you make the drive and I'll let you put em on Thunder. But then you'd have to be willing to push Thunder around cuz the engine went boom.
