Anyone Have Pictures of Flareside Bed Caps?

Anybody have pictures of flareside trucks with bed caps on them? After the amount of snow we've got so far this winter a bed cap is high on my list of purchases.

Well 51, my 1st gut reaction was that it would be hard to mount and seal a hard tonneau (fiberglass) to a Flareside. Since the tops of your bed "flare out". But IMHO your truck would look COOL with one instead of a cap.
Just my O.

I agree a hard tonneau would look cool and I'll probably do something for fairer weather but I'd also like to purchase or build a period style cap for when I'm hauling stuff.

I realize it's a styleside not a flareside but it looks period correct. Hope this helps.

Actually I've got one identical to that but same, it's for a styleside. Narrower flareside requires, what is proving to be a hard find, the skinny, 6 1/2' version.

Not looking for a camper, just a cap. I've already found a 69 Alaskan 8' cab over Camper so just looking for a bare cap, nothing fancy...

Sorry 51. I was being humorous. Actually I have been looking on EBAY and here at FTE for you in-between phone calls here at work. That's how I found the funnies up above.
