pictures of truck with canopy/cap wanted - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Alex Hayley · 07-27-2002, 07:23 PM

Anyone have pictures of our trucks with a canopy/cap on it? I am hoping to see a picture with a canopy/cap that looks good and helps me in my shopping for one. Thanks...

Here is a link to a thread where one of our board members posted the same question. He found one and explains where on the thread. It is a great looking unit also......

Here ya go, why go just a topper when you can go camper? :-D

I dont think it has a tag on it. My trucks in Florida and Im in Cleveland, Ohio for a few months so I cant tell you for shure. Its for a Ford and I think its for a late 80 to early 90 one. They dont make one that fits our trucks in fiberglass. Mine overlaps on the sides about 1 inch. I had the windows tinted and had it painted to match the truck at Mothertruckers. You can get an aluminum one to fit just right because they can be coustom made. Good luck.

One thing about this Atro shell is that it is heavy. It has a double roof in the center. My son had a 67 C10 and his truck felt real light next to mine when driving. I need to go weigh this truck, I bet that top weighs in at about 600 lb with all the glass.

Nothing fancy or glamorous, this is the old style "one-size-fits-all" aluminum canopy. It locks and I use it when hauling expensive gear around on the job. I won't be bolting it down anymore. Gonna close up those ugly holes and get clamp downs instead.

Thanks for the pictures...your trucks look great. Has anyone ever seen a cap that compresses like an accordian up to the cab that is made of canvas or some such material? Any pictures or opinions on that type of cap?

Not sure about the accordian part but this is a canvas one.

**oldiron** · 07-30-2002, 10:28 PM

Had this one made at the local craftsman's shop here. Comes in any color you want.

stllookn · 07-30-2002, 11:07 PM

Tried to get the guy to keep this one but he insisted that it go with the truck. Notice how the accent stripes match the truck!!!

Hey...you asked for it...LMAO!
