anymore campered squares out there?

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

I just picked this up today from a car dealer for $100. Has some holes and missing rear glad but I can fix it all. Is there a way I can find out roughly what year it is and or model number, except for a manufacturer tag? Mine has nothing on it.

Looks good, that glass is an easy fix.:metal:

^^^ Nice camper! Too bad they don't make them like that anymore.

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

Thats what I figured. I pulled the door, and will just get a piece of plexiglass to put in it. Unless you think I should go with actual glass due to flexing and whatnot?

I got a free camper about like that about 45 yrs ago that had been rolled. The front wasn't too bad but the back half was pretty smashed. I took it all apart, and re-bent the middle and back roof bows to match the front one, then screwed it all back together with a bunch of corner braces and put new metal on the top. As I recall I replaced the back "glass" with plexiglass. The side windows had somehow survived.

I used it for a year or two and then sold it for $100 I think. But of course that was a lot more money back then. I turned around and bought a brand new taller one that was insulated and had a back door for $400-something.

A new cab high fiberglass topper is about $2500 right now :(

Just picked up this very good condition Glasstite one today. I came across an old advertisement and loved the look. Now I just need to clean up some of the old silicone and give it a scrub.

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

I don't think I have seen one like that. Very cool

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

I had a Glasstite cap back in the 1980's - it was the best cap I ever owned. I currently have an A.R.E on my 2009 and the rear window leaks, has since day one. I wish Glasstite was still making caps!

I've seen similar but not this exact one. Thanks


That's great to hear. The build quality is very impressive so I'm not surprised at all actually. You're not the first person I've seen online saying that they wished they were still around.

Great looking truck and canopy man!

So I bought this shell for my C10, even though it looks good it will need some work...

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

It looks to be in good shape... nice find

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

New to me “dog house”. I couldn’t pass up this deal when the owner agreed to move on the price. Already started polishing up the bubble windows and ordered LED clearance lights.
