dieselpower32x, I was looking at different covers of that type. Considering the topper isn't even meant for my year I definitely want to ditch it. How much do you think I could sell it for marketing it as for a 2nd gen? It has new paint (dirty in the pic) Thanks for the info everyone.

I paid 300? For a used one like that. Can't remember. I love mine. Except I leave stuff in there for ever cause it stays dry.

Cool Rookie. I changed the info on my ad and am asking $350. We will see if I have any takers.

Mine was off a 2nd gen too. As seldom as I used it, I did not mind the width differences. If it's in really good shape, $350 is a good starting point.

It seems pretty nice, fresh paint, good glass and tint. Even has the rubber gasket deal that hooks it to the cab. Thanks again for the help.

Since it came with the truck when you bought it, I would just maybe throw it up for 300 bucks and the first guy that offers 200, I would sell it.


Another thought, If you have the room to store the camper shell, Maybe just keep it too. There is always going to be a time and place where you that would come in handy.

Don't reply if you don't want to, but did you just buy that Dak in upstate SC? It looks exactly like one I used to see for sale at my local transfer station.

No I just picked this up here in Phoenix. Carfax verifies it has always been here and it is completely rust free.

I put my fiberglass topper on craigslist after I bought my truck for $500 and got $400 for it two weeks later. Mine had rear locks, side sliding window with screens and the front slider. Good luck and be patient if you have to!
