Re: Caps, toppers, camper shells - ONLY!

You might still be able to have one made to order.

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.

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.

Re: Caps, toppers, camper shells - ONLY!

Picked this one up for mine and it came off a 75 Chevy C10 that was on since new. All fibreglass and made here in Saskatchewan by Atlas Industries thatis now defunct. Very well made and in nice shape. Bought in July this year and then plans changed so I sold it and it went on an older Square Body..
