None of you guys have a shell on your bed?

I have used a shell from a 94 F**d on my C10 LWB, borrowed from a friend. It fit real nice, and looked pretty good.
Here is a picture of a nice Leer shell that was on a K20 that I once owned. I still have the shell, and would sell it if you care to drive to SE Minnesota...

Chris H;

I would be interested in photo to see Leer brand on our trucks. I couldn't drive to your area to buy but would appricate photo (do you know model number?) (link did not work). email photo to me at cheyenne10@msn.com

thanks.

Maybe this picture will work?
Sorry but I dont know the model number, Leer has a pretty informative website.
As a side note, the one I borrowed from my friend has a window running the full length of each side that was hinged and opened up (much like the back). Very handy!

Minnesota isn't that far from Oregon...

wish they made one for the long horn still.. have to have them custom made, then they are made out of metal.

I have a Raven shell on my fleet side lwb and it fits about like the Leel shell. Just a little off the side. It to is for a F*%d 1988 to early 1990's. I had some help when I went to buy it we tryed on 4 different shells before we found this one was the best fit. So find some where they realy want to make a sale and try them on there. They should have a lift and it should be easy for them to put them on, it was not hard with their lift. I was there maybe an hour and tryed on 4 of them. Good luck, Joker69.

I have a nice pic of a hugger orange leer on my old 70 lwb if someone can post for me.

RipMeyer · 07-01-2002, 11:16 PM

This is what I found on the leer page. It appears that the 1967 to 1987 all fit our trucks.

67-87 shells

That is some very sad rust, poor truck!!

nroden · 07-02-2002, 12:28 AM

The shell I took off last summer was put on in 1974 made by Bison Campers in Buffalo MO. They are still in business today. I have gone by there many times on the way to my sisters in springfield before and after I got my truck.... just never payed as much attention to it until afterwards. It was an old metal one (not sure what is was, never did rust) with the green sliding side windows and the clear back window.
