toppers that fit correctly for our squares

Hey all, I'm curious what brands of toppers y'all have currently or have had in the past that fit really nice for our trucks. I have had a couple different ones and either it was a terrible fit by the cab or it overhung off the rear bedsides a 3/4" or so. I've seen some in pics that looked like they were spot on, but would like to know the manufacturer if possible.

I had one with no windows on the side and I really liked that look on my crew cab. That way no one could see what I had stashed in the bed when i was at swap meets and such.

Any info would be greatly appreciated!!

Re: toppers that fit correctly for our squares

have had a half dozen or so canopies over the yrs, been really liking the Arrow brand, got 2 of them now & they fit perfect. dont use it as much now with the camper, i would like to get it back on the truck for winter, but i need 4 or 5 buddy's to help me get it down from the carport rafters....my other one stays on my daily yr round
i'm into cab hi toppers, but i got dogs so i need windows, but not screens (going down the hiway one day & see my screen fly off, & one second later a mastiff head pokin' out.....)

Re: toppers that fit correctly for our squares

I like the look of the one that came on my GMC. No idea who made it, I have seen one, scaled down on a Ford Ranger recently but it was also missing manufacturer stickers/id.

Re: toppers that fit correctly for our squares

Mine is made specifically for the 73-87 models, and was color matched at the factory. It has been on my truck since both were new.
It is an A.R.E. MPULSE, but has been out of production for years.

I think snug top still makes a 73 87 topper ...and they make nice units.

Man that is exactly what I'm looking for...blazer look without buying another project.

Re: toppers that fit correctly for our squares

I had a LEER Macho model for a while. It was very nice. I tried to sell it for months, and I finally gave it away for $50.
