Question Shelby Bed/Rear Cab Wedges??

So I have been looking around, some people have the metal roll bar tube style. I want the fiberglass style that the 89' Shelby came with, that connects between the two forming an almost sun visor. Any idea where I can locate one, maybe aftermarket? This truck has them:

I have seen a nice lookinf razorback for the dakota. Matter of fact, I know of where I can get one locally used for cheap. But shipping something like that would probably not be worth it.

Or are you looking specifically for the shelby one?

I just don't like the look of some I have seen exp aftermarket. The angle in the back is too steep, overall length too short. The Shelby one was longer and matched the windshield slope angle, almost appeared to be a hatchback. If I have to I will take one off another truck and shorten the width, there would be a seam along the center of the top.

I really wish I could find some in these style the aftermarket ones are not sleek enough, do any other model trucks come with one closer to the Shelby's that I can hack up and fiberglass?
