What I really want is a simple old school aluminum cap, but nobody makes one for squares anymore. Will consider fiberglass cap. Willing to drive a ways from Western new Hampshire. HELP!!! I really don't want to make one.

Luckily with the old trucks, a cap was a cap. Biggest difference was short bed or long bed. GM, Ford and Dodge caps all swapped around pretty well. GM was probably the first to really change the cap interchangeability, with the GMT 400 trucks. If it's an aluminum cap, chances are good that it's for an old truck.
