that thing is ****, I like the white more. I'll probably pass on this guy because it's missing the back window and I don't feel like searching. is your truck the same color as the one above? and mine?

That's a sweet topper, might not be factory, but it does look period correct. If the fiberglass is good, I'd grab that for $100. Buy a piece of 1/4" plexiglass for the rear and you're good. It looks like the higher top version too.

couldn’t say for sure. The color of mine is called cinnamon glow, a.k.a. dark nectarine

Broktruk,
Your truck looks amazing with that topper (and the rest of the truck too).
I'm restoring my 75 highboy back to ginger glow brown and was considering leaving the original topper off it. It does need just a little fiberglass work around the lift gate. Looking at yours I think I may need to restore the topper now and reinstall it when I'm done.
One thing that is like un-obtanium is the little compass emblems on the topper. With 3D printing so common I'd think someone would have scanned one in and reprinted them by now.
OP--I agree it looks like a nice topper and cheap. I'd go for it if you're looking for one.

I appreciate the comments, thank you. A lot of sentiment wrapped up in to this truck compared to any of the others that I’ve done. Dad is original owner of the first configuration. I’m looking at another original canopy, unfortunately this one has some issues that will take a lot of work to rectify. When I get to that point, I may sell pieces off of this one. Have some other miscellaneous pieces that I have held onto over the years. I have another spare liftgate possibly, if someone needed.
