Are you talking about the nets they used to replace tailgates with back in the 80's?

Yep. It's all part of a personal timewarp I'm working on. Mullet is starting to come in nicely too. Van Halen collection nearly complete. ;) Seriously, I'd like to know.

Try a Ford Ranger. Same width for the most part. All of those nets are adjustable by a few inches to make them tight.

With the aerodynamics of a bronco, expect about 300 years to pay off that $49 net

I still have one in my garage that I used on my Bronco. Pay the shipping and it's yours. I believe it's off of a mid 80's Toyota Hilux.
