Re: Caps, toppers, camper shells - ONLY!
Yep, mine came off a mid-80s pickup. The ladder rack on my '72, which sits on L-channel three sides, I originally made for an '84. Fits right on there.

Re: Caps, toppers, camper shells - ONLY!
I bought a new one 6 years ago from Bel-Air Shells, in Garden Grove. My truck is a Longhorn.

Re: Caps, toppers, camper shells - ONLY!
Thanks!
Yup, but it's holding up. I hope I don't have to replace it anytime soon.

Re: Caps, toppers, camper shells - ONLY!
Took a road trip to the Bristol area to pick this camper shell up yesterday. Today, I decided to stick my LR-78’s back on for a little more stability over the 215’s. Truck handles the added weight fine, but any larger and I’d want a 3/4 ton.

Re: Caps, toppers, camper shells - ONLY!
Topper looks great, blends in well to the color combo, nice nostalgic look. IMO, the small caps and blackwalls have more of a traditional truck look, whereas the whitewalls and full wheel covers were an attempt by the industry to get the pickup to be more acceptable in social circles.

Re: Caps, toppers, camper shells - ONLY!
This is mine. It's been on there a long time judging from the crispy critter shag carpet in back. It came with the truck. It took me an afternoon to clean out all the junk that was back there.

Re: Caps, toppers, camper shells - ONLY!
I've been wanting to build a slide-in camper, like the Bayou in the link, no tail end overhang for towing. I'll design it myself and plan to build the frame from square tube aluminum. I've always wanted to do a wooden exterior cap as well, like an old boat

He probably posted a link for a picture and it is being blocked.

Re: Caps, toppers, camper shells - ONLY!
I clicked edit and it showed me he tried to post an image link. I copied link to another window and it came up. So I figured that site doesn't allow image linking, so I just copied link instead of adding it into software code.
