THAT couldn't have been an easy one to find! Here's a few more I've found recently. Still looking for an era correct topper (you know, like Pete's!!)

The Mooncraft is awesome, but it was way too far away - boo...
Pic #3 is really kinda what I'm looking for. This one had more damage than it looked like in this pic though.
Really like the "Compliment" (pic 4) but it was too far gone to chase..
The Star Line (pic 5) is probably more of a camper than a shell/topper - but it was cool.

That mooncraft canopy is pretty cool. How much is it?

**jocko** · 09-08-2017, 09:50 PM

I don't recall exactly how much, but it was dirt cheap. May have been $100 or something like that. It was about 4-5 months ago though, has dropped off cl. If closer, I would have bought it - it had a very cool garage door rear window - as shown in the pic, it's not broken, it just glides up and into the camper when you open it.

Works for me. Keeps the bed in excellent shape and provides needed protection during transport. Shell is by ARE.

factorystock · 09-09-2017, 02:33 PM

The early 70's brought out a new generation of sleek styling one piece shells with space age materials.

RINC · 09-09-2017, 04:15 PM

Yeah, I had to go there

Would have been a neat one to snag up. The way the hatch opens is kind of cool. If I did my internet search correctly that company has been gone since the mid 70's.

You guys out west need to find one of these for your truck. These are what I remember in CA in the '70s

Id have to see those in person, but they sure look cool in the pics. I like that they aren't straight up and down on the sides.

Wobpb377 · 06-07-2020, 12:36 PM

Here’s mine. Nothing fancy. Think it’s off a later model as it doesn’t fit perfect but still looks good in my eyes.

**special-K** · 06-08-2020, 09:43 AM

^^^ Nice looking set-up I'd say. Nice and light, too, right? I have an aluminum cap for my '72 I pop on and off with ease. The crank-out windows were clear, so I got tangerine tint to closely match the old plexiglass bubble windows. Those you can see had the white scroll in four corners. I never liked all the fanciness of these back then. I hade a white one made with just the crank-outs once years ago. Cheap!

Thanks. And yes it is very light.

factorystock · 06-08-2020, 07:47 PM

Wow, isn't this '70 pretty. Another great metallic color ( Dark Gold Poly ) that disappeared for '71 and '72. Yes, the psychedelic era was over. The double tu tone really flows with the shell.

**special-K** · 06-08-2020, 09:52 PM

"Hey! Who stole my mirror??"

Looks like a Gem Top

The mirror probably interfered with the pinstripe lines in that photo op.

factorystock · 06-09-2020, 10:29 PM

Good question, where are the mirrors? Really doubt they were removed for the photo shoot. Left factory without? Missed the dealer prep? In a box in the bed? We'll never know.

**special-K** · 06-10-2020, 06:08 AM

May be a brochure shot. Looks like no rear bumper either.
