    Cargo Cover Contemplations - What a mess!

    I put a 5 ton cover on my deuce, It works well, you just need to put approx 2 feet more towards the front. I picked it up on ebay for $300 new in crate with bows and end covers. Just check out ebay, once in a while there on there. I personaly think $1350 is steep.
