Truck Caps, Camper Shells, Toppers... call them what you will, lets see them - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

This was discussed in another thread so I thought I would go ahead and get this started.

Here is what I have. It is an old aluminum cap that I picked up for nothing that I shortened to match my in between long and short bed truck. It is currently at 7' instead of the typical 6 1/2' short bed.

Ummmm.....words fail me. Even "word" seems to be absent.

I'll play... 1977 GMC C15 long bed with Vista shell

skyphix · 11-27-2018, 12:12 PM

Love this thread. What dimensions should the base of the shell be for a short and wide bed (like Outkasts?) Keeping my eyes open locally for an old aluminum shell for my 80 SWB.

I was fortunate enough to buy mine from someone that had it on an 80 something short bed K10 so, I knew it fit. I will measure it tonight and post up the dimensions.

57 Chief... love it! I have the same racks for mine but, I am in the process of polishing them (they are aluminum) before I put them back on. Super cool though.

My shell is 78 3/4 long, front to back not counting the little lip in the front and 72 3/4 wide.

I love this thread!!! great idea!

daddyjeep · 11-29-2018, 02:42 PM

Dimensions for mine are.

Width...

Length... Again, this is not typical. my Bed still needs shortened 6".

Here is the topper that came with my truck. If it didnt seem to rain every time I go to pick something up I probably would have ditched it by now.

It's a "Raven" camper shell, Paid $100 for it years ago. Comes in handy now and then.
