Are you replying to post #75?

Re: 67-72 Trucks with CAPs/TOPPERs Photos
 

Looks like post #14; sorry, I'm a bit web challenged!
Now I'm out of town trying to do this on my phone!
Maybe I'll give it a try when we get back home this week!
Thanks and have a good one!

Old Blue ..... 1971 Cheyenne C10 Name of Top is unknown at this time.

Re: 67-72 Trucks with CAPs/TOPPERs Photos
 

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

Re: 67-72 Trucks with CAPs/TOPPERs Photos
 

Those are beautiful shells ! Just imagine trying to find a top for a Longhorn !

Re: 67-72 Trucks with CAPs/TOPPERs Photos
 

(from post #15, - I'll give this anothe try!)

Hey. 1-PU70, see you've been away for awhile; if you're still around, do you know what brand canopy you've got (or had) on this rig?
BTW - with that 3:73 rear, this dude must have some serious 'seat-of'the-pants' torque!

Re: 67-72 Trucks with CAPs/TOPPERs Photos
 

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.

Re: 67-72 Trucks with CAPs/TOPPERs Photos
 

Those are cool I don't remember ever seeing anything like that.

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.

Re: 67-72 Trucks with CAPs/TOPPERs Photos
 

^^^ 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!

Re: 67-72 Trucks with CAPs/TOPPERs Photos
 

Thanks. And yes it is very light.

Re: 67-72 Trucks with CAPs/TOPPERs Photos
 

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.

"Hey! Who stole my mirror??"

Looks like a Gem Top

Re: 67-72 Trucks with CAPs/TOPPERs Photos
 

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

Re: 67-72 Trucks with CAPs/TOPPERs Photos
 

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.

Re: 67-72 Trucks with CAPs/TOPPERs Photos
 

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

Re: 67-72 Trucks with CAPs/TOPPERs Photos
 

Here’s one I saved from a local hoarder. Hadn’t moved in 33 years. Had the build sheet in the back of the seat and the jack instructions still in tact. If I kept it the topper wouldn’t have fit the short bed I would have converted it to. That is why I let someone else own it.

Re: 67-72 Trucks with CAPs/TOPPERs Photos
 

Nice save. In a way, that might have been a good thing a hoarder had it, too many of these era pickups ( in similar condition with shells attached ) ended up in the pick and pull yards in CA 20-25 years ago and disappeared from the face of the earth within weeks.

Re: 67-72 Trucks with CAPs/TOPPERs Photos
 

Here is mine. It took quite a while to find a camper shell for a short bed. I imagine that if a person were looking to do some camping they probably would’ve purchased a longer bed. So I think the short bed camper shells are kind of rare.

I need to take a photo of this truck with all the lights lit up at night. It looks really neat. The interior is all wood in very good shape I need to take a picture and post that as well.

Re: 67-72 Trucks with CAPs/TOPPERs Photos
 

That's really sharp. Takes me back to before dropped trucks with 82" wheels and gumbands :lol:

Re: 67-72 Trucks with CAPs/TOPPERs Photos
 

Here is mine, just picked her up from the guy who ordered it in 1969. This top has been on since 71. Had a different one but was damaged during a hunting trip.

Re: 67-72 Trucks with CAPs/TOPPERs Photos
 

Boy that is sweet! I overlooked this was from the original owner. Wow. I was amazed 20-30 years ago when I'd find an original owner truck. I've said I bet these trucks had more long term (decades) original owners than any other vehicle out there. I still believe that. WOW, 51 years!! I'm 65 and he bought that truck when I was 14 building truck model kits! He sure kept it nice
