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

This was discussed in another thread so I thought I would go ahead and get this started.

Here is what I have. It is an old aluminum cap that I picked up for nothing that I shortened to match my in between long and short bed truck. It is currently at 7' instead of the typical 6 1/2' short bed.

Similar to Right On!

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

Ummmm.....words fail me. Even "word" seems to be absent.

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

The camper was brown when I got it... 2 new window shocks, 2 rolls of painters tape, 4 cans of gray spray paint and 2 of black for the trim and she looks BE Eee Aye You TIFUL!

I'll play... 1977 GMC C15 long bed with Vista shell

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

Love this thread. What dimensions should the base of the shell be for a short and wide bed (like Outkasts?) Keeping my eyes open locally for an old aluminum shell for my 80 SWB.

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

I was fortunate enough to buy mine from someone that had it on an 80 something short bed K10 so, I knew it fit. I will measure it tonight and post up the dimensions.

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

Awesome, thanks!

Old aluminum one. Has a ladder rack too.

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

57 Chief... love it! I have the same racks for mine but, I am in the process of polishing them (they are aluminum) before I put them back on. Super cool though.

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

My shell is 78 3/4 long, front to back not counting the little lip in the front and 72 3/4 wide.

I love this thread!!! great idea!

Here is the topper that came with my truck. If it didnt seem to rain every time I go to pick something up I probably would have ditched it by now.

It's a "Raven" camper shell, Paid $100 for it years ago. Comes in handy now and then.

OMG, I love that lime color - do you the paint code for that? WOW!

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

This was on it when I picked it up its a LEER topper

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

more shells more shells!

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

I finally found one that fits!

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

NICE! I dig that back window how its shaped! That is all 80s right there :metal:

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

Ya I'm real happy with it. Only took me over a year to find one.

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

I wish I could find one with that back window... that is crazy! I love it! Mine fell in my lap a week after I started looking for one. Funny how those things work... now I am looking for the K5 bucket seats and center console... I wish those would fall in my lap the same way! HAHA

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

Found this one, not sure if the older trucks have different inside bed dimensions.

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

Have to love the back windows!!!!!

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

It looks like an owl or something... $350 seems a lil steep for that.

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

here is my old 8ft pickup trailer thats not road worthy anymore . so i turned it in to a firewood storage trailer so in the off season i park it out behind my shop .

to keep the wood dry and bake it dry in the summer like a hot box i used this old hightop cap with side slider windows and front slider . so if i need to let it breath i can open them .

this combo works super nice for parking right next to the shop door to get fire wood in the cold season .

but its my truck cap pics of the only one i own .

Funny that you posted a trailer... I have been thinking about building a similar trailer except lowered with matching paint and rims to match my truck... then put my shell on it... I think that would be so sick!!! Hard to find a rust free bed here he Hawaii though.

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

they trail so nice and smooth behind you i have 2 of them and building a 3rd for a friend out of his spare parts .

blue one did match the old truck perfectly . . . :lol:

and cut the frame long in the front right before the firewall area kickup . gives nice long trailer and tool box storage up front for full un wasted box space . the white and red will be getting a storage surface in front of the tool box also this summer. ignore the HUGE i-beam sitting on the tongue . thats my snow plow ballast weight .

done with the thread derail back to the caps . last pic in use stuffed :sumo:

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

Trying to get this shell now too. Don't really need it but hey they are hard to find right? Wish I could get the whole truck...

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

That would be a score if you could get the whole truck! One shell is enough for me... I already struggle to make room for it if I take it off.

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

I couldn't get the whole truck, I just started a business so all my extra funds are tied up in it. He was going to scrap the shell so I was able to save it the other day. Every time I try an post a picture I get a security token error now though.
