a camper shell. I've decide to purchase a shell for the back of my truck and was wondering what you guys/gals have on the back of your trucks. I picked up a couple year old stockland fiberglass shell today, I'll pick it up tomorrow. It's a utility shell, has lift up doors on each side, (no side windows), has a rear window and front slider. Apparently the front slider flips down or something like that so the glass can be cleaned. The guy bought it new for $2000, I picked it up for $300. Seems like a pretty good deal. It's white and I've been pondering whether to paint it to match or leave it white and pinstripe it with some wide pin striping. I figure if I leave it white with pin stripe, when/if I decide to sell it, it will be easier to get rid of a white shell vs a red shell.

 

Ive got a black shell on my red truck - I think it matches well since the trim on the truck is black too. I will take a pic tomorrow

 

I'll get some pics up tomorrow when I get home with it.

 

$300 is a GREAT deal - I paid a whole lot more than that. But these are great for camping.

 

Looks good! I didn't get out of town today like I wanted. I re-scheduled for tomorrow. Hopefully the idiots @ the dealership can get/find my transmission leak!

 

Here it is!

 

Nothing wrong with that - looks good. Keeps the snow out in the winter and is great for camping if youre into that kind of thing.

 

All you guys with toppers and toneau's make me jealous. I can't afford a nice one because I have to put fuel in blasted thing.

Question: do they save fuel? If I can use this arguement with the wife I might be able to get one.

The white one is the 24V right Evil? I don't remember - you drove the white out this way back a few years ago...

 

Yes, I have a Lund hard tonneau on the white truck. Im probably too cheap to buy one - it was on the truck when I bought it. And I picked up this black canopy for $600 last summer after looking for months and months. Canopys for longbox Dodges seem to be easier to find than the SB ones.

Devon, you want me to keep my eyes out for one for you?

 

I don't know if you guys got craigslist up there? But that's were I find everything! I'll let ya know next week about the fuel mileage.

I'm going to build fishing pole holders that are accessible through the side doors.

This camper shell is best $300 bucks I've ever spent!
