Default Bed Toppers

Does anyone know if a 96 chevy short bed topper will fit one of our short beds?

You talking 'bout a camper top or a tenau cover?

If the dimensions are right, it wont be hard to mod up some mounting brakets.

Just a fiberglass shell but I think the Chevy is raked back towards the bottom of the front.

Are you a veterinarian or a member of profession with similar requirements for locking up your "tools of the trade"?

If not, there is no reason for anyone to purchase a topper. No offense to you friend, but if you're looking at one of those, you shouldn't have a truck. You should have a SUV.

I picked the topper up for free off of craig'slist.It needs back window replaced and proper clamps.Free is good.I plan on using it for winter to add traction and storage.I can always remove it for taller items.You can not remove the top of a suv.

And it's hard to wash out dog shi and puke from an SUV. The topper keeps the mutt in and offers some weather protection when your in a hail storm above tree line and cooking on a stove in the back. I'm not a huge fan of them but, mine has sure come in handy.

I'm not even going to explain what is wrong with the above. This is the USA isn't it? But maybe I need both and don't want or can't afford two vehicles.
