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!

67_C-30 · 02-24-2009, 05:59 PM

We call 'em camper shells down here!

I don't have truck with one, but I do have half a truck with one!

jugadro · 02-24-2009, 06:11 PM

Haha! Thanks 67_C-30.

I see you're a Member of the 1-Ton Club... You should start a Half-Truck Club! LOL!

69halfton · 02-24-2009, 06:42 PM

i think they look awful IMO

a soft tonnau cover looks nice though..

19673ontree · 02-24-2009, 07:16 PM

here's you a nice one !

stllookn · 02-24-2009, 07:28 PM

It is a matter of taste...they look beautiful when your are camping and it starts to rain...LOL!

68_Bowtie · 02-24-2009, 08:14 PM

Here is mine a couple years ago. I have since sold the topper.

jrdv · 02-24-2009, 08:40 PM

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!

jugadro · 02-25-2009, 07:01 PM

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

I really like this one for a stepside.

**Already Gone** · 06-28-2021, 08:12 PM

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.

Stoney · 02-25-2009, 06:27 PM

Nice Truck

badpeanut · 02-25-2009, 09:41 PM

Here is a '69 3/4-ton I considered buying last spring:

CG · 02-25-2009, 10:22 PM

Nice vintage top.

1-PU70 · 02-25-2009, 11:20 PM

Heres mine

**El Jay** · 02-26-2009, 01:47 AM

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.

cardude · 12-01-2017, 01:28 PM

Been looking for just the right canopy for my rig - your's looks (looked) awesome! What brand/model is (was) it?

Are you replying to post #75?

cardude · 12-02-2017, 12:26 AM

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!
