Re: Canopy Topper Camper

My Dad had a vinyl folding top cap on his 71 Ford long bed pick up back in the day. Sides and tailgate had clear plastic type windows. It really was not too different than the softopper I have for my Blazer except I believe the windows were fixed and didn't roll up. Actually looked good on the truck. Two of us kids rode in the back when we went on vacation camping and boating. We sat and laid on plywood benches in the bed with 6" foam on them. Most all of the camping gear was loaded in the boat. Amazingly, we survived without seat belts, only a vinyl canvass roof, and a good exhaust system to keep us from getting asphyxiated. Vacationed at Black Lake near the St. Lawrence or up in Peterborough Ontario Canada, so they weren't short rides.
