Couldn’t find an early cap/shell for my 48 so I built one

Yes a few. Started life as a modern shell . Stripped down to frame … modified frame to fit the 48 then laid the aluminum skin on.

Very nice!!
I love campershells :-)
Especially when they’re homemade!
Fits the truck really well, period correct I would say.

yeah, nice work. now, if you were planning to actually camp in there, you may need a slide away sunroof from a modern car with power slide. a buddy of mine installed one in his houseboat (home made, more like a kids plathouse he repurposed onto a deck sitting on 45 gallon drums strapped up underneath, lol.) and would fish through the sunroof under the shade of being indoors, haha.
