Take a look at my truck and see if it is something like you are looking for. It is made by Century...has sliding side windows with screens and easy to remove. If you like it I can get more info for you.

Talking

Yes, I think that is for standard bed. Haven't seen anything local there? Up here (in Indiana) they are all over town. Usually in good condition and cheap.

I moved here from Florida...used to live in Lakeland area. I miss it there. Of course, not right now with the weather you are having...are you in one of the bad areas?

i believe you have a short bed wich should be the same size as any up till 96. Unless you have a fenderside then it might be harder to find, if nothing else just get some 2x4s and plywood and make a custom topper.

Sorry But a plywood topper, is Not my Bag..

86 F-150 with no Dints, Dings or Rust with new factory Paint
I don't think a Pylwood Topper would match...
