    So far I've only found the Sportz Truck Tent III Model No: 55099 and thats gonna run me about $250... Any cheaper options out there? Can tents for larger beds be "cheated" to fit a short box?

    not too sure on that...
    I believe that tent is 104" long... might be too long for the short bed...
    I think i'm gonna buy one for mine lol...
    well, if it fits... I'm gonna measure the bed tomorrow

    yeah unfortunately, neither the ebay one or the sportsmans guide one will fit in my 5 foot (60") bed

    "Interchangeable tent fits a 6.5 ft. regular bed to an 8.0 ft. long bed."
    "
    It deploys in minutes in pickup beds from 6 1/2-8'"

    haha thanks man...

    I picked up a Sportz III 55099 from Sportsmans Warehouse on the way home, $209.95, so $224 after tax. Not bad considering online everyone wants $239+
