My 85 SB Pickup has a shell now, but it's fugly and waaaay "old man" looking. I'm gonna try to pick up a more modern shell, most likely used. Has anyone found a resource that tells which shells from other trucks could fit mine?

Dimensions are only one factor, as the angle of the cab is different depending on make and even models within one make.

I see tons of shells for sale but not many say they are directly from an 85 toy.

So anyway, if anyone has a resource, it'd be helpful. Otherwise, I'll call some shops in my area (san jose, ca) and just see what they have available.

Thanks.

i have a black 4r style shell for my 91 that i dont use nemore. my friend with an 85 sb ext cab borrowed it and it looked pretty good. it fit his line contours better than mine.

Yeah, you know the ext cab vs regular cab is the difference there. The extended cab has an angle to it, and the regular cab is basically perpendicular. I had almost purchased one until I noticed the angle difference.

I think i'll end up paying for a used one from one of the local shops, unfortunately.

Thanks,
