I copied these pics from another thread but want to locate and obtain a shell like this. Not sure of the proper name for them and have come up negative in any recent searches. Does anybody know the proper name of it, have one they would get rid of, or know where one might be available? Thanks in advance!:cheers:

Maybe try sleeper cap, sleeper shell, etc. Have you tried searches in your area with the word sleeper?

Yep tried them all, even cowboy sleeper, cowboy camper and the like. I can find the short shells but they all extend down into the bed. I want it to cross the bed as pictured so it doesn't shorten the usable length of the bed, such as hauling full sheets of plywood, etc. Thanks for the ideas tho! I use to see them all around the rodeos but now they seem to scarce as hens teeth!

Here's a vet owned sleeper cap business maybe worth a call.

Thanks Doug! Yep, they can fix me up but wasn't wanting to spend more than my square is worth! Damn, they are proud of their ****!!!!! Really just looking for a decent shape used one. Maybe do some horse trading for one or pay a reasonable price! Thanks for the link tho!!!:cheers:

Craig found one for you, cool!

@Paladin , did you check, is it still available? Looks like the lower tool box could be very removable.

Road trip....
Says it's still available but waiting for response from seller. Lafayette, LA would be doable for the asking price but currently would have to quarantine for 2 weeks upon return from LA. by Governor directive! If still available might check into shipping if feasible!

Dont know if you know of or have used Fastenal for shipping. They offer pretty good shipping rates for large items. The cargo hitches a ride on their stock trucks across the country. I had a tiller for my garden tractor shipped to me for around $100 from Upstate NY to the Lehigh Valley of PA. Item must be palletized and shipping is from a Fastenal store to a Fastenal store.
