Re: Truck Caps, Camper Shells, Toppers... call them what you will, lets see them

Back in the old days we just bolted them down, usually 8 bolts on a long bed.

I'm pretty sure that I put my first cab-high, unlined, aluminum shell on the pickup by myself. I had been manhandling it for weeks in the rebuild process. I think that I just tipped it up and got under it and balanced it on my shoulders by myself. It's a lot easier with at least two people, though.
