Re: Caps, toppers, camper shells - ONLY!
Thanks - once upon a time. There were sins you couldn't see in those pics that had to be fixed or it was gonna go downhill fast. Currently looks like this:

Re: Caps, toppers, camper shells - ONLY!
Is black the original color? Looks to be turning out nicely.

Re: Caps, toppers, camper shells - ONLY!
No - the maroon was the original, but a friend noted how straight the truck was and talked me into black. The paint is coming out spectacular. I'm going to keep it pretty stock, except for the seat and an overdrive.

Re: Caps, toppers, camper shells - ONLY!
Ok. I was never sure if your truck was Vermillion or if it had been painted Bronze. It will look great in black I'm sure.
There was a truck I could have bought until the owner died a couple years ago that was a GMC LWB Fenderside 2500 in black. He first showed it to me in '01. He bought it off of an Amish farmer. He himself was a farmer. What deterred me was it had been hit on the driver side. It looked fine on the outside, but inside in front of the door it was still pretty crunched up. Would have made a great run around chore truck, but that damage killed it for my hopes of making it nice...without getting into some serious cab rebuilding.

Re: Caps, toppers, camper shells - ONLY!
I don't want to derail this thread too much. My truck was originally vermillion, but someone did a quick overspray with a slightly different shade - probably right after they filled the big dent in the roof in with two-part epoxy. You can see what I went through with that in the C20 thread in my sig line.
To make amends, here's a pic of my buddy's truck that we went to Alaska in, with the rare "'66 bed on '67 chassis and topped with old topper".

Re: Caps, toppers, camper shells - ONLY!
Here is a cap on a 1970 Longhorn. Talked with the owner ( as its for sale, the truck that is ) and he has owned it since 1972 when it had 22,000 miles on it. I asked about the cap because there weren't that many Longhorns so it would surprise me if companys made a cap for a Longhorn and he said he had the cap made for it in the 70's.. Check out the factory cruise control and its on the spid..

Re: Caps, toppers, camper shells - ONLY!
When I asked he said 10k. Hasn't been used much overthe last 15 years. I would like to buy it but 10k is more than I'm willing to spend on that particular truck.

Re: Caps, toppers, camper shells - ONLY!
Nice looking truck! When the camper shell I bought was made to replace the one I had, the guy just measured it to make sure that the mfg made it the right size. Mine's a longhorn. The shell's a standard catalog item.
You can see my new shell on the truck as a larger pic than my avatar in post #89 in this thread,if you are interested.

Re: Caps, toppers, camper shells - ONLY!
This morning I came across this truck for sale in one of my Facebook Groups and I thought the cap looked pretty good.

Re: Caps, toppers, camper shells - ONLY!
I know this one is on a 1978 Square body but the cap looks pristine.
