Caps or Canvas Tops - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

VA_short_67 · 03-07-2007, 01:49 PM

My wife wants me to get a four wheel drive by summer time. I would like a 67-72. To sell her on the idea, it would need a cap, canvas would make her jump for joy (see thinks she is on some type of safari when we take the truck to the Outer Banks of NC).

Does anyone manufactor caps for 67-72 fiberglass or Canvas?

Thanks

There ia a canvas truck cap made.There`s Can-Back and I believe Bestop makes one.Hatteras is a safari trip,as long as you go off season and avoid the tour rats.

Buy a 69-72 blazer & then get a soft top for it! Trust me they're pretty sweet!

& I don't even have a soft top for mine.

Later,
Buddy

But,you have a low-pro camper?Way cool,especially for surf fishing safaris.

Seen them on Newer Trucks. Do they make them for 67-72?

I`d think one would fit.See what applications are available,take measurements off one,and it should be close to our trucks.That used to work,I think they`re all pretty close,still.(not 88-98 GMs)
