Rising Tonneau

Hay anyone made or used a rising tonneau cover that raised straight up? Like this.

How would I go about making my own?

I've only seen them twice on TV once on trick my truck and the other was the one above. I think it's a complete custom job.

Thats what I was thinking I have searched all through the net and found nothing. Maybe I should ask some of the ricers? They have lifting body parts and stuff.

Depending how you are wanting it would depend on the work load. If you had a manual lift where you need maybe 2 people that would require the least work but if you want to push a button and have it done well. Then you need to decide on electric motors, pump, actuators, or install a PTO on the truck and have cylinders.
