    I have a very low flat-top truck, and my enclosed headache rack is even with my roof

    I have a flat-top and I can almost stand up (I'm 6'1" tall) and my wife can stand up just fine (she's 4'10" tall) LOL

    I wouldn't be able to sleep. I would keep thinking someone was about to steal from me.

    How do you keep them standing upright?

    An enclosure makes open deck trailer life on the road much, much easier regarding your tools and equipment. Pricey but, worth it.

    One of the few things you can buy that add function and form.

    That looks sharp, but do you think it would bu under the roofline of a flat top? I agrees with functionality. Just think if i can cme up with an orginized alternative.

    They're custom made so for a flat top you'd have three vertical doors or like mine without the top horizontal door. Or three shorter vertical doors and the top horizontal with no window.
