Just caulk some plexiglass in there... Keep it cheap and light.

Eddie and his old man are too freakin' cool.

Go to a window replacement store. They should have pieces of plexiglass there, so you don't have to buy the whole sheet.

see if you can have some one custom make the SilCamino a tonneau cover, that'd be sweet. I was just thinking about this earlier, "...hmmm a 240 that you can haul shlt in"
