Re: Camper Top!!!

hey guys, what year range campers have you found that usually fit our trucks? i tried one from a early 90's chevy and it got way to narrow in the back and the curve at the front was really off. I really want one/ need one, im tired of my dogs running all over me in the cab! nothing like two 60lb pitbulls trying to sit in your lap and look out the window while you drive!
