Camper top dilemma
After failing to find a top for my truck I finally found one on Ebay here in the UK, bid on it (a cool £20 so far) and then I get offered a second one. Both need some work, both are about the same distance from me at about 300 miles but in opposite directions! The aluminium one the guy wants £100 for and it needs work, the GRP one needs a little work too work but its looking like I may be the only bidder.
The fibreglass one looks like this although its not this exact one it came off a late 70's truck, quite sleek and modern looking. ![]() ![]() and the second a more period aluminium one (this one) This one was made in 1968 and is currently on the IH in the picture Its kind of ugly cool. ![]() ![]() Which do you prefer and why, I'm leaning towards the GRP one, I could live with it everyday whereas the aluminium one is maybe a bit too ugly and I'd want to take it ofee when I don't need it. The idea is to be able to sleep the odd night in it at car shows. I know also that when ally ones start to leak they can be a bear to make watertight as its usually worn rivets etc and the GRP one has no joins so should be less leaky.
