dont know about prices, but here's all of them, on one page.

you might need to go used, for such a "thrifty" budget.

Truxedo will make one. Not to long ago we did one on a 77 chev step side that was custom made.

Nice cover. Installation was easy and quick. The bed rails clamped well and the snaps on the bedrail slide so they line up with the cover snaps easily. Only drawback is the snaps on the bed rails are plastic but they do send spares.

The cross supports are adjustable at two heights lower where I have the set and higher which allows an extra 1" or so of clearance.
