DiamondBack Cover Custom Installation

I did not like the configuration of the DiamondBack Cover for the Raptor.
I was looking for a short forward section, to cover the bin and a long aft section.
DiamondBack does not make it, so it was time for modifications.
I got the center and forward sections for the Raptor and the aft section from a Super Duty.
...and did some cutting and splicing...

That is - pretty friggin cool!!! Never thought about doing that, but now it makes perfect sense. Have you shown this to Diamondback? Royalties should be paid to you for this improvement........

But, I still like mine even if it isn't as cool as yours!!!!!

DiamondBack was very helpful in the selection of panels, even after the first rear panel did not fit as expected, they replaced it with the one for the Super Duty "NO Extra Cost"; great People!

Wow! Nice work. Looks great. Who would have ever thought a Super Duty piece would match the lines of the F150 bed. Really cool.

I've been impressed with their customer service and helpfulness. Your setup looks great!

Love what you did to your Diamondback. I still love mine but would have probably bought one like yours if it was available. Does the shifting of the center have any impact on the weight it will hold?

Looks great. Who sells these here?

That is a pretty good idea, turned out well

It should not, the cut I made was at one of the cross members, not leaving an extended area unsupported.

Morrie would be happy to set you up with a standard setup.

Inventive idea. Looks good.
How much does that setup weigh?
