pickup lids
hi all i need some assistance, i won't bore you withe the finer details of why but inorder to keep my life simple i need a lid for my 90 truck cab.

i currently have one that i made from steel but it is very heavy(70kg) and also limits the size of thing i can put in the back as it is only 3 inch high above the body caps, that said it is very strong and it has rails on the top to fasten things to. increasingly though it is becoming more of a pain than it is worth.

i am in the market for a lighter taller version, ah i hear you say put an ifor williams top on it, well no, i have one and i hate it, it whistles, is not weather proof and at worst catches on trees or other low objects like carpark rooves and i hate it.

so to the question is there a source out there of roof line height swoopy tops like what you might find on dakar racers and certain jap double cabs a sort of aerodynamic(i know its a defender and is as slippery as a block of flats) rear clam? i have looked on truckman's site and ARB' and snugtop's too even been onto qt who make the wildcat but to no avail.

help. please. Rhubarb and custard let fly with their secret weapon.

Too box like. However via a few steps I think I mat have one in the form of a tomcat rear roof as they sell such things in kit form. Rhubarb and custard let fly with their secret weapon.
