Re: Caps, toppers, camper shells - ONLY!
This truck was on a local Ebay type deal. Didn't sell, and I'm trying to convince the guy the topper would look better on my truck! Any idea's of manufacturer/era? I think it look's fantastic!

Re: Caps, toppers, camper shells - ONLY!
I would venture to say that could have been built down your way. Never seen quite that style and to me it has an Aussie/ New Zealand flavor. There were stylish ones on the west coast in the day similar, so could be one of those I never saw. It sure is cool. I'd like to build one in that design. That truck needs Custom Camper/10 emblems. So cool! Would be perfect on a 60-66.

Re: Caps, toppers, camper shells - ONLY!
The angled side windows and double crank-outs do look pretty cool with the outline of the shell. Now it could just be my oldtimers setting in, but I don't think I've seen one like that before.

Re: Caps, toppers, camper shells - ONLY!
Really cool looking truck, are you planning on taking it to the Ol'Marais River Run Car show on Sept 15-16? I'm planning on going and would love to see it.

Re: Caps, toppers, camper shells - ONLY!
I personally didn't want it either. I want to use it as a truck, not a camper. But it's what her family went camping in since '73, so it means a lot to her. Some things just aren't worth the candle, to argue about. I'd like to buy an old step side to use for all the knocking around town I do. I bought a new 2016 Kia Forte before I realized that I'd really rather just have an old truck. It doesn't even have to be pretty, just sound...and have AC, even if I have to put it in. It's hot around here!

Re: Caps, toppers, camper shells - ONLY!
Well, I was trying to figure out a way to get this camper shell. Spoke to the owner, but had no way to go get it "today" (in North Carolina), so looks like it already sold, CL ad is gone. This was, by the way, exactly what I was looking for. Other than a little dirt, it looked pretty immaculate all the way around too. Price?? $50
![]() EDIT: Just for the sake of future reference in case anyone is interested, the mfgr of this camper is "Continental" - pic #2 added for ref. Last edited by jocko; 08-07-2018 at 11:25 PM. |

Re: Caps, toppers, camper shells - ONLY!
I'm looking for one for my 69 sidestepper, but doesn't seem like I'll ever find one...are any of these caps/toppers/camper shells just unobtainium now and for a good price?

Re: Caps, toppers, camper shells - ONLY!
Has anyone ever made one out of a Blazer top? Would this work? I have an extra double wall... I think it would look good and be period correct.

Re: Caps, toppers, camper shells - ONLY!
Here is really nice aluminum camper with a 69 GMC, I like that color combo. Not too bad on the price either being from the Bay area.

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

Re: Caps, toppers, camper shells - ONLY!
Very unique type of hatch door. Not a hatch door at all, but an overhead. Only thing I don't like about that is sometimes having the hatch open makes for overhead shelter from light rain getting inside. I'm not sure it's all that old, or at least the windows are newer than '60s. No mfgr's emblem, could be local custom build, but that door....? That's a 3rd brake light, makes me think it's newer. It would make a good small camper on one of these trucks.

Re: Caps, toppers, camper shells - ONLY!
Does anyone else have any pics like the caps on posts 138 and 168. Also pic one on post 73. I'm looking at getting a bed from Jeff (Jeff's bowties) and it has one similar to those that he said he'd throw into the deal. I couldnt find aiothers like it until those two posts

Re: Caps, toppers, camper shells - ONLY!
Hhmmm...I have been looking around for something for my 67 long stepside. In all these pics, I only saw one (Shaky) which confirms what I suspected--not common. Might have to widen my search area. ?

Re: Caps, toppers, camper shells - ONLY!
yes, that will be a hard one to find nationwide, incl Alaska and Hawaii, and a few other countries. I'd look nationwide if you aren't already.
