i went to , or called many truck accessory vendors  , and got nowhere  
fast! 
you may be able to modify some of these new late model metal frames  that 
use a velcro type fastener . i have not looked into that yet ,but i will  
when i get back to junkyard walking..in better weather!
find a marine canvas guy who actually makes stuff , not orders it thru  
catalogs , and you now have a good place to start for your cover , AND your  
seats. my wonderful seat was done by a marine guy , he also did show winning  
seat in the blue rampy at clark's show.  cheaper than a upholstery shop ,  
and darn good looking. get them to do it in winter when they are hurting for  
work. it saves!
also , my wood frame was soaked up with a good waterproof dark stain for  
protection.
i also have a large home depot deck box that i use for storage in the rampy 
for going to shows. it holds cooler , tables , chairs , etc and slides in 
and  out rather easy. but i like a full cover better.
so i am still looking / thinking / workin  on ideas that look ok ,  work ok 
, and are cheap.
