Deano, did you look at posts 15569 and 20716 where custom built tray top canvas uints were discussed? Full description in the afore-mentioned posts. Summary of
mine follows, but look up the threads as others have also contributed.
We have a canvas cover made quite some years ago (quite a cheap option), to fit over a frame which we had purchased at a
clearing sale and modified by stripping off the metal covering and adjusting to fit our tray size, on the Landcruiser. 4 pins went through holes in the "roof" of the canvas and a roof rack sat on top for extra cargo. It had zip back and clear plastic rear window. It was the very best camping on the back of the ute. The only mistake we made with the design was having it go behind the frame at the rear of the cab, which meant when it rained, water ran down the front and onto the tray. It should have gone over the frame too, and a little below the tray level to keep everything dry.
