Custom diamond plate tono cover!
So today I am starting on my new tono cover, the old was is not secure seems how it is vinyl. I will be getting a big 7 drawer toolbox and bolting it in to the bed for all my shit.
I want to be able to lock everything up.
Here is a pic of the general look.
This will be hinged and have gas shocks on the sides.

Re: Custom diamond plate tono cover!
So far I have completed the cover itself. I decided to just use the exsisting tono cover frame.
I used silicone and rivits to fasten the diamond plate to the frame.
I am still working on the false peice that the hinge will sit on.
After that I will install the shocks and the T-handles.

Re: Custom diamond plate tono cover!
Got my hinge put on today and made the plate that houses the hinge.
Also installed the shock mounts on the bed rail. Welded them in.
I have to wait until tomaro to mount the upper becuase I don't know how long I need.
