If the cap fits it might not match the contours of the body. I also have an '01 QC, over the last 2 months about 3 have popped up on CL within driving distance. Just got an ARE cap for $300. I will have it painted by Maaco when it warms up.

I bought my 01 QC 5.9 for $3750 and the guy threw in the cap for free =)

be sure to check the local salvage yards. most of them get caps with wrecked trucks but don't list them so you'd just have to grab a tape measure and go look. I recently found one at a yard and they said I could have it but it wouldn't fit my truck. it was on a crew and mine is just an extended cab

there are 3 bed sizes for this truck,
the standard 6.5 feet on reg and ext cabs,
the quad cab is a 5.5 bed,
its real easy to tell them apart
there is a long 7' bed, but its not only rare, but easy as hell to see the difference
