Camper Shells for 1977 Bonanza w/8 Foot Bed?

Does anyone know of current manufacturers of camper shells for older P.U.'s with 8 foot beds? I called one company in my area and they show nothing out there. He said they may have destroyed the molds. I once had a brand new camper shell but that was in 1978 or so. LONG time ago! Gave it away 10 years later after I no longer had a place to store it (apartment living). Need one to haul a large RC biplane in my old square body. I can use a bungee cord cargo net, and right now that's about the only option I can find. Thanks. LBJ

Depending on what your looking for here.

The canvas truck tops are universal, and work pretty well from what I am told.

Universal work tops like this often work.

If not you can sometimes find them on CL when you look far enough.

Hi Ziegelsteinfaust. Not much on that site for 1977 trucks. Craig's List might be of help. But so far a cargo net looks like the most likely thing. Thanks, Lane

A cap from an '80-'96 F150 will also fit your truck.

Mark, that's a nice shell!

I needed something for right now so ordered a heavy duty cargo net. Got it mocked up with the large biplane and this will work for now. Maybe next year I can find a shell.
