[QUOTE=ElectronPlumber;17415355]We have had very good luck with our aluminum caps and our guys aren't always the easiest on stuff. We have been running aluminum caps on SD's for 15yrs with no issues. I was told by the truck upfitter that we buy all of our caps from that the fiberglass is just as strong/durable and weighs about the same (maybe little less) than the aluminum. Only reason I went with fiberglass is because I like the looks a little better, it looks more "thought out" to me. I do believe though that the aluminum cap does have a little more side bin storage than the fiberglass but I'm fine with that. I think my fiberglass cap if I read right has a 5 yr warranty on the finish/clearcoat/etc and aluminum was 3 yr.[/QUOTEThanks for all of your input, it is very helpful. I agree the fiberglass looks better, it looks like the truck could have been built that way, where the aluminum looks aftermarket. I'm taking my time setting up this truck I want to get it right. The upfitter I'm talking to thinks aluminum would be easier to hang/hook stuff and
modify inside.
