Default roll bar and tonneau

I would like to get a roll bar and tonneau cover set up.
Has anyone a good suggestion for the roll bar. I am asking because i am running into the mounting challenge.. the bed is a combination of fiberglass outer panels and steel bed and frame...
I dont think drilling is good for the bed...

I liok forward to any suggestions you may have
Thank you for reading

You mean a light bar..... Welcome to 1978. Why stop at 1 when you can have a triple?

Good luck mounting anything without drilling

Any real roll bar would be quite heavy duty..custom.... One piece all welded.... and would need to be mounted to frame.....not sheet metal. 99.99 % are stupid decorative add-ons... That come in a box...fasten together with slip joints and a couple of screws. Which rust....... They were the white boy equivalent of curb feelers on a ghetto cruiser.😂😂. Before they thankfully went out of style that is.

Yup ... light bar. I have the supercrew. What options are for light bar. I was given some old time KC lights .. the round ones.
I am trying to avoid drilling into the roof of the can...
