got a topper for my truck

[harofreak00]

Was at one of the local yard wandering around looking for parts for my projects, and I stumbed on this...



Asked how much they needed for it... "75 bucks"...

This is what my truck looked like when I got home.






Its got a very interesting hinge setup for the door, never seen one like it before. You can open it the normal way with the gas struts (didn't get a picture because the struts are shot), but then you can slid the whole door forward and rest it on the top of the topper.... completely out of the way.


For $75, I'm very pleased. I can finally keep the snow out of my bed. Will make long trip a lot easier to pack, and I won't lose bumper covers on the street anymore!

Still need to find a flush mount toolbox now...

Awesome score!!

If the truck is still there in the spring, you should go back and grab the running boards

[harofreak00]

Not sure that I like the look of the running boards... I'll probably just slap on some mudflaps instead.

Nice grab. I was gonna make a comment about bumper covers, but you beat me to it. lol

Pretty sweet, I use mine when I go camping to keep the wood dry I like an open bed for the rest of theyear though. I bet its nice to keep the snow out up there though

Nice score!! Will be nice for hauling crap around year-long, lol.

Very nice find! Looks like your keeping that ol girl after all eh? Im surprised how closely the colors catch, i wouldnt have gotten that lucky!

And indeed a very interesting hinge setup...

Your also increasing the resale value of the truck and trucks can get better MPG with a topper on to cut down the wind resistance!

that is really nice and a great price - I too am amazed at the color match!!

We bought one for our previous truck - hubby built a bed in the back and put a mattress on it (from a fold out sofa) and then we stored our stuff under it. - we had a boot between the cab and the back of the truck. very comfortable bed too, i miss it on long trips!!

Looks like it will do the trick - keeping snow out!! which twould appear to be a big job where you are!!

Looks good! (although I'm still not a fan of caps)

[*B2*]

I'm usually not a camper shell fan, but that's one of the better looking shells. Nice score.

[00Beast]

I like caps when they flow with the truck and are relatively paint matched, like this one. The generic, black corrugated toppers are ugly and don't fit on any truck, IMO.

[BlackHawk99]

Ya, when done right they're not as bad. When I bought my Sonoma it had a really nice body-matching cap. I still sold the cap the day I bought the truck. lol. Never been a fan of them.

*dang* ya beat me to it hehe.

Nice find indeed Andrew.
A family friend owns a topper store and $75 for that lid is an incredible deal even used.
