Need factory topper info!
New guy here. I have an urgent question. Will a Ford "factory" topper off a 79 fit my 1967 F250? Just looking at sideviews, I am not sure it will. The back of the cab on the 67 is nearly straight up. Thanx. Mike

How well do you need it to fit? Is this gonna be a one use deal or a permanent install?
The bed dimensions are the same I think. Cab is taller I think, as well as shaped differently. So that part won't be perfect.

Dimensionally the beds are the same it's the back of the cab and topper angle that cause the fitment issues. I was reading a thread awhile ago on this topic but there wasn't any hard evidence if they fit or not. Some said they would be comparable others said they won't fit together. Nobody actually tried it to see if it would or not in that thread. Here's a picture of a topper so you can get an idea of it.

Toppers are nice. If it's a good deal I'd buy it either way. The factory ones are hard to come by and are wanted by many dent owners. I wish I could find a topper for my daily driver wanted one for awhile now. I don't want to pay someone 400 for one when I see them being given away for free time to time.

Frodo has a topper from a Chevy, at least that's what the guy I bought it from said it was from. I don't know the year, ut maybe it'll help you. The fit isn't perfect, but it's not too bad.
