Truck Cap pics?

I have a 94 reg cab pickup and im thinking of getting a cap for it. I found one local off of a ranger, but i dont know if it will fit. The dimensions are 7' 5'' long x 5' wide. Anyone know? Anyone have pics of caps on there reg cab pickups?
I havent seen too many in the pic threads, so please dont rag on me lol.
Thanks

Ive noticed alot of pic threads lately lol, so i had to go make one myself hah.

I used a '91 Ford Ranger canopy for several on my old '84 X-tra cab. and it looked pretty good 7.5' Feet sounds very long for a Toyota bed (maybe T100 long bed). Try a tape measure on your bed. From what I remember Toyota bed dimensions were usually about 74x58ish

Here's mine:



Not too happy with it though. It leaks for one, and it's the type that actually butts up to the back of the cab with a rubber boot that goes all the way around the rear window. It's been on there for so long that that rubber boot has rubbed away the paint all the way around the rear window... I'll keep it on for winter but after that it's gone.

I'm glad someone started this thread. I've also been looking for a cap for the winter, and would be curious to know what other makes of trucks have the same bed dimensions.

Indeed it is, last month on October 5th though, after the first big snowfall of the season. Probably more snow back then then there is now

If I decide to stay with a canopy there are some older Leer's that look like a perfect match for the regular cab Toyota's. Finding one is tough, and finding one in the matching color is even harder.

Hey there. This one fits like a glove. It came with the truck when I bought it, so I have no Idea what kind it is, I guess it's a Vern's.

I work for an A.R.E. dealer in Bozeman Montana and own and A.R.E. V series topper that works amazing for winter time. I got it equipped with side vented windoors so I can access anything in my bed with the cap on. I used to have a Raven top on my truck which I bought it with but got a great deal selling it to a firefighter so he could sleep in the back. So if anyone want to know what prices we sell toppers at in my area to compare just let me know. I know for the 89-95 EC pickup A.R.E. also makes a T wedge which for those of you who dont know slants up to the rear of the bed and then the v series is just cab high. I can post pics too if you want.

Nice, that kinda looks like my truck. Id like to find one to match the truck so i dont have to paint it, but they are scarce.
