Anybody running a tonneau on the blazer/jimmy?

I am looking at purchasing a tonneau for the blazer, and specifically this one:
http://www.jcwhitney.com/autoparts/P...odelId-1001134

I really like the look of it, and want a tonneau cause I hate running with the top on. While the one above is made for chevy pickups, I should think that with some modification (like maybe putting stake pockets or modifying how the thing attaches) I should be able to use this on the blazer. For winter running I was thinking about getting someone who does auto apulstrophy (sp?) to make a matching vinyl cover to go where the back window would go if the blazer was a pickup truck, effectively boxing off the areas that need to be heated to keep me from freezing to death. I figure that the frame on the tonneau linked above is square or round aluminum tube stock so I should be able to just cut it short to fit the length of the blazer bed.

Any thoughts, other than buying the $499 STC soft blazer tonneau? Keep in mind I'm a college student, and accordingly poor.
