WTB - camper shell
I'm looking for a period-correct cap or camper shell for my 1970 C10 (fleetside).
Geography is not important - for a nice specimen, I'll cover the cost of shipping it to Virginia. If these are impossible to find, does anyone know of a fabricator that could recreate one? |

WTB - camper shell
I'm looking for a period-correct camper shell or truck cap for my 1970 C-10 (fleetside). This seems to be a difficult item to find.
For a nice specimen, I'll cover delivery costs to Virginia. If finding one is near impossible, does anyone know a fabricator that could make something that at least looks correct? Thanks! |

Re: WTB - camper shell
Hi - I have this cap which fits good. It's aluminum and in real nice shape. If it's the look your going for, I may be able to meet you half way.
I am also looking for an 8' quarter panel 68-72 after market (or nice OE). Thanks, Wayne |

Re: WTB - camper shell
