Ideas and photos on how to attach bed cover to bed top..??

[fasteddie1960]

just purchased this old bucket, built in late 1960's and trying to get ideas on how to better attach the bed cover to top of bed?? it now just has 2 studs with wingnuts holding it on on either side...Please help.. thanks ..

In my case, I also just have two studs with Nyloc nuts holding it down firmly. If you need more accessibility, you might consider a couple of hood pins, like Cooter uses on his bucket.

I plan to hinge my lid at it's front . Haven't decided on the rear portion yet. An early m.g.b trunk lock would be nice.

Hinged at rear with two linear actuators to open it:

Not loosing it, just need a 'nudge' now and then. Ask my wife... she is always nudging me back to reality.
