I finally finished this project. I started it a long time ago, but had to put it aside for other projects.
The Cab Guard and Rear Rack are made with 1 x 2", 11-guage tubing.
The bars in the cab Guard are 1" square and 3/4" square tubes, turned 45 degrees and the top of the bars are tipped in towards the center.
The Rails are made with 1 1/4" square tubing and are turned diamond. The bed-side covers are 1/8' x 3".
Most important is the roll-up bed cover still fits!

Looks REALLY nice. how did you bed the top bars that are cab level?

 

Great work!!!!

 

Very Nice!

 

I'm guessing you are asking about bending the top bars? That is the one part of the job I had a machine shop do for me. He said it would be easy to do and I ordered all my steel from him, so he gave me a good deal on his labor.
He started with 20 foot long 1x2" tube, secured one end, heated short sections of the tube and bent it a little at a time while cooling one side of the tube with a wet rag. He just worked his way along the tube until it had a 1" curve over 48" length.
