I could have sworn I saw a tent that attaches to the rear of a capped truck online somewhere before.....anyone have a clue as to what I am talking about or where to get one?

This place has all kinds of tents for trucks. I've never had one, so I can't say how good or bad they work.

Performance Products also sells them: http://www.performanceproducts.com/productpage.aspx?pid=105822&name=Sportz+Truck+Tent+II

Here is a different truck tent. I am thinking about getting one, it appears to be better quality and will fit in the 5' or 6' bed.

I have one like those that attach over the end of the cap. It came from Campmor, and I love it. Turns a small truck into a poor man's winnebago. Ours has been to Hudson Bay, Labrador, Newfoundland and all over Maine. It's not perfect--the fit isn't ideal on a tall cap, we had to add no-see-um netting to the screen on the doors, and wear guards on the corners, etc. But with a few quick and easy mods, it will work great for you.

How about one of THESE bad boys?

Actually I use my 2 man backpacking tent. It just happens to fit inside the (5ft) bed with the tailgate down. Tent is about about 6 inches longer, but I just attach some tiedowns to the bed 'D' clips and attach the tent at the edge of the tailgate. Works fine, and didnt have to buy a seperate tent.
