Topped-Up Pickup Topper
 ✖  |
“My friend Don ‘Doc’ Mastin isn’t one to let anything go to waste,” says Duane Sporleder of Lake City, Iowa. “He built a new shop which he heats with wood. He already had a pickup box on which he had installed a tongue. He also had a pickup topper on the box, but the topper was too low to put much stuff in it.
“So he decided to raise the topper to store firewood. Using 2 by 4’s, he extended the topper 3 ft. higher and covered the sides with chicken wire. To block the front side he attached sheet metal housing off some old air conditioner units. The wood was already ‘seasoned’ for burning, but he wanted some air to get in so he could also store greener wood, if necessary.”
