Re: RPO X45 factory topper ?
I've never heard of it before.
It doesn't appear in the generic info for '77 in the GM Heritage Center archive, that I can find: https://www.gmheritagecenter.com/doc...olet-Truck.pdf It does not appear in any of my internal RPO listings. I've never seen one in any GM assembly plant. So - I don't know what you've found there. K

Re: RPO X45 factory topper ?
do you have a picture of this topper?
is it a canopy, or some kind of tonneau cover? |

Re: RPO X45 factory topper ?
It says sliding front window on the sticker, so it must be a topper of some kind...never heard of this either.

The 1976 Chevrolet Truck Accessories Catalog shows a tonneau cover. It was available in either black or white for Chevy fleetside or El Camino pickups.

Re: RPO X45 factory topper ?
The rear windows do look like they are Blazer. It would look good as a short bed topper
