Here is a cap on a 1970 Longhorn. Talked with the owner ( as its for sale, the truck that is ) and he has owned it since 1972 when it had 22,000 miles on it. I asked about the cap because there weren't that many Longhorns so it would surprise me if companys made a cap for a Longhorn and he said he had the cap made for it in the 70's.. Check out the factory cruise control and its on the spid..

When I asked he said 10k. Hasn't been used much overthe last 15 years. I would like to buy it but 10k is more than I'm willing to spend on that particular truck.

Nice looking truck! When the camper shell I bought was made to replace the one I had, the guy just measured it to make sure that the mfg made it the right size. Mine's a longhorn. The shell's a standard catalog item.

You can see my new shell on the truck as a larger pic than my avatar in post #89 in this thread,if you are interested.

This morning I came across this truck for sale in one of my Facebook Groups and I thought the cap looked pretty good.

I just bought this last month so I could sleep in my '72 at Spring Carlisle. It came off an '87. I wanted one with raw aluminum pieces like there were before everything went black. The bubble windows are a funky orange amber and all the glass was clear. So I tinted those tangerine. I'm thinking about doing a woodgrain treatment on the tan aluminum

How was the fit with this 87 topper?

I found one, but the price is high, luan looks rotted inside, and it’s 4 hours away.

As best I can tell, the shell is from Custom Camper Mfg Co. in Georgia, built in the early 70s

nice rig

I think I posted this before, but it's a good place to re-post it. I only have some stuff in the bed, no creature comforts, yet. The neighbor's house has been edited out of the picture. Guess I should pull it out in front of the house and get more pics.

Where did you have this made?

Pretty acceptable. Length works well. With hatch closed/latched against gate the front flange is on the head panel, stays dry. The bed rails on square bodies are a bit wider overall, so there is a slight over hang, like 1/2" on each side.

I need to slip the racks off my truck and put the cap back on by next week. It'll be my motel at Carlisle Trucks. I have a twin air mattress. Works out well. I used it last spring up there (got it days before) with the windows clear. I hope the tint helps with lights at night. I had towels hanging to block lights

This was Spring Carlisle.
