    Anyone have an idea securing a camper shell on these old import beds with the lip on the outside? I've actually searched already.

    And use locking nuts for security so that you need two people, one inside and one outside to remove the bolts. That's how I mounted my cross-bed box.

    Haha thanks. I just ended up using clamps in the front. And a self tapping screw throw through the lip towards the back.
