Truck cap, camper top, bed cover

Anyone know of a cap that will fit a 1974 hilux? I don’t have the owner’s manual in front of me with the bed dimensions, but are they the same as the 84-95 bed?

Thanks

here you go Bro a Truck Cap

 

Saw that one coming.

Is there a preferred term for such items or just razzing me?

Thanks

Sorry Buddy I just couldn't resist... Have been in the Military for so many years you meet alot of different people that use different terms for things... I'm sure they all know what you ment....

Sorry if I ruffeled the feathers...all in Fun...

 

No problem man, some good natured sh*t giving is what forums are all about. And really I don’t care for the term “truck cap” myself but I though if I called it a camper top then I would get info on these.



Though that would be pretty cool.

 

I was wondering if anyone could give me the length of the bed rails and the width of the bed of a 73/74 short bed. As i Wont have access to the 74 for a week or two.

Thanks

Also keep in mind that the curvature of the back window/back of the cab plays a part in fitment.

 

I have a 74,I will measure the bed and post it tomorrow......it is a short bed

 

a topper is what your talking about

 

sorry it took me so long to post this, the bed on my 74 is 591/2" x 73"

 

i have one that fit my 75 SR5... its going to need some stuff but u can take it if u want...shiping may be a prob tho...ill take pics of mine l8er

 

El Dorado Jim: Thanks for the measurements, I suspect they will come in handy.

DELTA 9 ½: Sure pop a couple of pictures of the topper, what stuff is it in need of? Guessing you are along the Mississippi somewhere, so yes shipping could be a problem. I did find a local dealer that says he can get a new on so I guess it all comes down to price of shipping/repair Vs. price of a brand new unit.

Thanks for all the help!
