I cannot find any info on this shell that on the 68 pickup. I am figureing it to be around the 80's but I am not sure. I am curious about it's weight as I have to move and may need to take it off. Info I have on it:

Alpine MFG CO
MOD S32
10435 SE Division
Portland Oregon

Picture below.

Thanks if you have any idea of year or weights.

Lots of companies made toppers in the 60s & 70s. It yours is all aluminum, the heaviest part is the glass. Weight should be under 200 lb. Two people can easily pick one up. I used to have a wooden on that I could lift myself by standing in the middle. But back then I could squat over 500 lbs.
