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.

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 . . .

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
