Looks OK to me. Is that your truck or his truck?

Oh, and welcome fellow Hoosier.

Looks pretty nice, you going to put tailgating supplies or tools in there? Couldn't beat the price. Trevor

Welcome to the board! Looks like it's made out of aluminum. Would be great for hauling tools!

I like it. I really wanted a period aluminium aluminium camper top but the only one I could find was plain ugly, wood framed and needing work so I had to settle for a fibreglass one.

They`re heavy for on/off use.But,I really like mine.It`s great for tool hauling as my daily work truck.Keeps things dry and secure.pull everything out and go camping and I`ve even used it as a swap meet rig,which also worked out great.The doors on the side doubled as shelves.I have a 4' x 4' sliding shelf at the to of bed height.So,there was that shelf for an inside display,too.
