Older style Aluminum; etc cap wanted.

I live in Tucson Arizona and there are caps like you are seeking all over here. Many took them off due to escess heat in Arizona sun and now are trying to sell them.

The distance is far and shipping would be high and someone would have to crate one for such shipping.

How hard would it be for you to make the trip to get one here.

I have seen them as low as 75 dollars and as high as 150 and they are fairly common. You see many setting in yards for the past few years that never move and likely would sell them cheap as the market to sell them here is very low.

If anyone wants good caps for the Arizona days they usually go for a well insulated fiberglass type now unless they plan to install some kind of cooling system.

The want ads for Tucson are online and I think the local Thrift newspaper ad is also online. I will look up the thrift paper site but for the two papers here use the following.

It might help to search for similar sites on the web for larger metro areas near you as well.
