Another Mopar Off My Bucket List - Barracuda Fastback

I just used the rubber when hauling stuff, if I was running empty the liner was in the garage.

My truck was a daily driver, I looked hard for a cover for the top of the bed and could never find one that did not require drilling.
Sadly I tore the truck up on black ice, but the bed survived without a scratch.
I know I hand sanded the wood back down at least 4 times while I owned it.
The cool thing was the wood got slightly darker each time it was aged and stained.

I didn't have to drill any holes when I used a Velcro tarp. The tarp was made wide enough that the Velcro was affixed to the bottom of the side rails on the box and you couldn't see it with the tarp off. - You could see the strip on the tailgate and the one along the front of the bed though. My goal when I had that one made was to avoid drilling holes. It did work great and I never had problems with it coming loose. The only issue I had was that it sagged. I probably should have run at least one bow with it for support.

I'm still on the fence about which style to go with. A vinyl tarp could be rolled up and stored behind the seat. It could double as a floor protector. The fiberglass style that Abodybomber suggested would probably look the best. I don't think anyone sells one for the shortbox stepside Dodges, at least I hadn't seen any the last time I'd looked. I will have to check again. If the cost isn't too bad I may go that route.
