How much you got into it? I was thinking along these lines until I scored a leonard camper shell for $150.00. Looks like this will last you awhile!

No more than 200 bucks {can} Up here on the Island try and find one in good shape for less than 500. I did look before I built this one.

It truly looks aftermarket. Excellent job. I think you'll be fine if you ever flip your truck.
