67-72 Trucks with CAPs/TOPPERs Photos
 

I'm looking to get a cap for the bed of my truck, but curious as to how different styles will look.

Please post pix of your trucks with caps on 'em.

1967-1972, any style!
Sleek, newer caps... older, boxy caps... WHATEVER!

Thanks so much!:metal:

It is a matter of taste...they look beautiful when your are camping and it starts to rain...LOL!

Here is mine a couple years ago. I have since sold the topper.

Re: 67-72 Trucks with CAPs/TOPPERs Photos
 

Here is my 69 GMC. It has had a topper all its life and the inside of the bed is in excellent shape. I took the top off for a little while, but decided I wanted the bed to stay in great shape--plus it is nice for town trips since I can lock stuff up!

Nice Truck

Re: 67-72 Trucks with CAPs/TOPPERs Photos
 

Hey jrdv - that looks pretty sweet. I like the modern cap on the older truck. What brand is that?

Re: 67-72 Trucks with CAPs/TOPPERs Photos
 

Here is a '69 3/4-ton I considered buying last spring:

Re: 67-72 Trucks with CAPs/TOPPERs Photos
 

Yeah yeah I know...its a grandpa canopy...Well Im a grandpa and I like it =). I seldom have it on though because Im always putting stuff in there thats too big and it gets in the way.

Re: 67-72 Trucks with CAPs/TOPPERs Photos
 

Heres mine

Re: 67-72 Trucks with CAPs/TOPPERs Photos
 

For me, I think the white shell just looks "right" on my truck.

As for the last one, I didn't like it very much, so I took it off.

Re: 67-72 Trucks with CAPs/TOPPERs Photos
 

The has since been removed.
Changed the image of the truck forever.

green724x4 - You got one sweet ride - even with the "grandpa cap" - LOL!

nightmare - That setup looks mighty nice - what brand of cap is that?

El Jay - The 3rd pic is great... reminds me of something you'd see up here in Maine!

Re: 67-72 Trucks with CAPs/TOPPERs Photos
 

Sure is nothing wrong with wanting/needing a topper on your truck. I used this one for many years until the aluminum was corroding away. It served as a camper, tool stowage, cargo protection, and shelter from the elements. This is a pic from 1980.

When I bought mine the PO's daughter had the vintage shell her Dad ran repainted. It was on saw horses behind their barn. I drove the truck home without it, but I regret it now. I just did not have anywhere to store it as I was not going to run it. I told her to sell it. Oddly enough I still have the key for it on my ring. She said keep it.

Are you up there by the Hainesville(sp?) Woods, perchance?

Re: 67-72 Trucks with CAPs/TOPPERs Photos
 

If I'm driving my civic, yes... I'm up by Haynesville.
If I'm driving my truck, nope... nowhere near it.
(it's amazing what the difference 36mpg and 8mpg can make!)
It's about 3 hours away.

Re: 67-72 Trucks with CAPs/TOPPERs Photos
 

It's a LEER. Someone said that they aren't made for our trucks anymore though.

Re: 67-72 Trucks with CAPs/TOPPERs Photos
 

I know - it's a love/hate relationship for me... They can be ugly, but they sure can be a lifesaver sometimes!

Re: 67-72 Trucks with CAPs/TOPPERs Photos
 

Classic...

i love your topper where did you get it? I'm looking for one for my 68 chevy and so far this has been the best looking one in my opinion

Re: 67-72 Trucks with CAPs/TOPPERs Photos
 

It was on the truck when I bought it. However, I've seen them at different truck accessory places.

Re: 67-72 Trucks with CAPs/TOPPERs Photos
 

I would love to be able to find one just like that. Perfect height - the right angle to the cab... Man. Nice one!

This is my 67', but the shell is only on there to keep the rain off of the wood bed.

Re: 67-72 Trucks with CAPs/TOPPERs Photos
 

Wouldn't put one on anything I own but here's a "Zimmer" camper top on a parts truck I had recently. It's the extra tall great grampa style I think. :lol:

It since has met it's fate with the business end of my sawzall but did save the glass and just sold the window crank handles on ebay for $5.99 :lol:

The rest is in a pile waiting for a ride to the scrap yard.

Here's a photo of my 72 Longhorn with canopy

Re: 67-72 Trucks with CAPs/TOPPERs Photos
 

There is a white 69 that runs a 70's style one in my area. It actually looks good on that truck but personally I'm not a big fan of them. I have to say that the one on Nightmare's truck is changing my mind. I wouldn't hesitate to put one on a 4x4 truck.

Re: 67-72 Trucks with CAPs/TOPPERs Photos
 

My "custom" camper. The entire sides open upwards. Not sure what year it is for, it doesn't quite fit.

Softopper. The proper one is the late model Ford size. The new chevy has a shorter cab height. http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/a...1&d=1400987847
