I have seen one for sale overhere in Holland, but it’s on a Ford longbed...

Did some looking and found out there are a BUNCH of differences between pickup bed sizes - that's the problem with finding a topper that works for our rigs! ('67 - '72 GM, and '72 - 93 Dodge look to be the only candidates)

Check out this list:

I've got one off of a '90's era Chevy, before I realized they are tapered front to back almost two inches! The rear height is wrong, too. Crazy!

Nobody makes our size anymore. Been researching making my own out of fiberglass by making a female mold. (like a boat hull) LOTS of work!!
