Default Roll bar?

Anyone know where I can find a roll bar for a long box? Been looking but I have found NOTHING. I have seen them on a few 2nd gen rams so I know they make them.

Thanks. Checked there but they list roll bars that are universal for long box or short box. Wish they had measurements. A little on the pricey side though. I wonder how much work it would be to make one..

Need a pipe bender, and a good welder. Down the road you go.

Any decent muffler shop will have a bender. The really good ones will have a mandrel bender. (doesn't leave the funky crease on the inside of the bends.) They will also have a welder. At least, they should......

My buddy has a pipe bender but I'm not sure how big of pipe it will bend.. I'm 90% sure only 2.5". I have an old Chevy pickup out back with a roll bar on it so tomorrow I'm going to go take measurements of it and who knows, maybe it will fit

Most of the benders I have seen have dies for 3" pipe.
