Automatic tonnau cover
I am thinking of building a bed cover made out of wood and covered for
my bed of my truck. It would have a hinge so it would open and I could store things like groceries, etc. It there a way to make it so the hinged part could be opened automatically by a button or remote or something? Can you help me find where the parts are? Just thinking right now. Any helpful ideas are appreciated! |

sure, hydraulic lift on the back, not sure what the exact name for it is,
but it looks like a shock. kinda expensive i'm betting. But with good math and proper placing two of these could life the cover no problem. it'd probably be cheaper/easier to hire a troll like bob wald to hide in the trunk and just push the cover up. wrote in message ups.com...

After time and materials it is probably cheaper to buy one. Also, why don't
you try a truck news group for this question. alt.trucks.chevy alt.autos.dodge.trucks "Chris Mullins" wrote in message ... sure, hydraulic lift on the back, not sure what the exact name for it is, but it looks like a shock. kinda expensive i'm betting.
