Camper Shells for Mid-80's Squares? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

SunSoaked · 03-22-2017, 06:56 PM

I recently acquired an 85 K20 longbed. I would like to put a shell on it but it appears nobody (Snugtop, ARE, Leer) makes them that far back. Further, locating a good used one on Craigslist looks to be nearly impossible as well. Anyone have one on their truck? Looking for models, specs or other models that might fit.

Thanks, Mike

How wide of a search do you do on CL? Not suggesting that you drive all the way up to the great state of WA, but it seems like I see them advertised for $0 to $250 on a monthly basis. Don't forget to check the for sale - free (non-automotive) section. I got one that I didn't want with my GMC C15. I decided later that I liked it since it fit the era. This is the pic from the CL ad when I bought it. Nothing special in itself but has practical benefits and looks right for the age of the truck.

I have this one on my 84 GMC that I found on Craig's
list.
