Re: Gem Top Camper Shells
He's the same guy who leaned those heavy rolls of roofing felt against the side trim. What's your name, son? .. You're fired!

Re: Gem Top Camper Shells
Thanks for posting CV65 ! You just helped identify this shell for me. Says GT in one place and can barely make out Gem Top on the rear decal.

Re: Gem Top Camper Shells
Man! Two killer shells there! Nice score on yours Jon. How long you had it?
I wish the Oregon CL one was closer, I'd be all over it. |

Re: Gem Top Camper Shells
Hey Jon, is yours steel as well? I imagine it could be somewhat heavy? Sure looks cool. Kinda motivates me to start cutting on the aluminum Sportsliner that is sitting in the driveway covering the log splitter.

Re: Gem Top Camper Shells
Its steel, had to go back and look though. Doesn't look to overly heavy.

Re: Gem Top Camper Shells
Thanks for the cool pic CV! There's a guy in Redwood City that has a 64 - 66 Long Fleet with one of those toppers. Sure are cool.
Just a question for anyone who has one.. Being that the tops are made of steel, what is the finish on the steel? Is it paint or galvanized? I've seen a couple of the Pullman tops that are steel but all of the ones that I have seen have been painted.
