'78 Ford canopy value?

Just picked up my truck and was wondering if the original Ford deluxe canopy has any value? Will most likely be taking it off the truck. Looks to be in decent shape, just dirty from sitting. Will get a better idea once home and cleaned. Has original emblems. How much are these worth? Thanks!

Couple hundred dollars. Really depends on how bad you want to sell it and how bad someone wants to buy it. Put it up for free or $50 and it'll be sold in a week. Ask $500 and someone may just have to have it... in a year.

Is it a shortbed or longbed, and where are you located?

The compass emblems are very hard to find, could be worth 200 bucks to someone that needs them.

Here is a pic of the canopy. Needs a good scrubbing. Original compass emblems still in place

Where were you a year ago?? 😄
I live in Puyallup, and I bought mine for $300 in Everett. As mentioned, I've seen them go from $50 to $500. You should sell it for at least $300 so I don't have to kick myself.

I'd love to take it off your hands but I'd have to find a home for the Kanopy Kingdom aluminum canopy on the truck now.

Thanks for the info! It is a OBO situation. I'm not in a hurry to move it but would like it gone eventually. Happy to consider any reasonable offer that someone throws my way.

I picked up a deluxe canopy for a $100 a few months ago. I didn't care for the look of it on my lifted supercab & it wouldn't fit under my 8' garage door, so I traded it for parts to a friend for his regular cab
