Default Changing my trucks look

Well I have been thinking of removing my Backrack and Toolbox, and switching back to a Cap, Since I have 24/7 access to a trailer to move anything that wont fit in the back.

There is a low-profile fiber glass one local for $150 in White of a 96
There is also a Leer Aluminum Contractor Style, Has Rear Doors, Side Door Storage and a rack on top for $150, also in white. Im leaning more toward the Contractor one, because of the Rack and side door storage. Off of a 99, so im looking into if the doors with fit or not

I do plan to get either one painted black, since they are only $150 lol I sold my old cap for $450 haha

The person did send me the measurements today on the door width.

Also heres a pic of the Fiber Glass one


There is also this Aluminum one, I know will fit.
Its Got doors on both sides, and Normal Roof Racks installed. Its also on a 05-07 Dak, Red for $250

The one from '96 may not fit, that's a first Gen Dakota. I say go with the red one, and then paint your truck to match it.
