Talking 67-72 Trucks with CAPs/TOPPERs Photos

I'm looking to get a cap for the bed of my truck, but curious as to how different styles will look.

Please post pix of your trucks with caps on 'em.

1967-1972, any style!
Sleek, newer caps... older, boxy caps... WHATEVER!

Thanks so much!

I know - it's a love/hate relationship for me... They can be ugly, but they sure can be a lifesaver sometimes!

Re: 67-72 Trucks with CAPs/TOPPERs Photos

Here is my 69 GMC. It has had a topper all its life and the inside of the bed is in excellent shape. I took the top off for a little while, but decided I wanted the bed to stay in great shape--plus it is nice for town trips since I can lock stuff up!

Hey jrdv - that looks pretty sweet. I like the modern cap on the older truck. What brand is that?

Re: 67-72 Trucks with CAPs/TOPPERs Photos

Bought this one in July 2020 and sold it in September. Just didn't do anything for the truck. I ordered a Truxedo Lo Pro tonneau for the truck last week.

Re: 67-72 Trucks with CAPs/TOPPERs Photos

For me, I think the white shell just looks "right" on my truck.

As for the last one, I didn't like it very much, so I took it off.

Looks like post #14; sorry, I'm a bit web challenged!
Now I'm out of town trying to do this on my phone!
Maybe I'll give it a try when we get back home this week!
Thanks and have a good one!

Hey. 1-PU70, see you've been away for awhile; if you're still around, do you know what brand canopy you've got (or had) on this rig?
BTW - with that 3:73 rear, this dude must have some serious 'seat-of'the-pants' torque!
