Fiberglass or aluminum?
Had an aluminum cap w/ my '84 Ranger. It was great, fairly easy to handle by myself. Got a Leer fiberglass for my '95 S-10: hard to handle so I built a rig in garage so could slide it onto a rack when I wanted to take it off. Now have an '04 F150 and would like to get a cap but back to aluminum. Are new ones hard to find or what? I like the idea because they are fairly lightweight when compared to fiberglass and you can do better with ladder/tool racks. Any suggestions? (anyone notice that I run my trucks about 10 years?...)

I've been very happy with all of the Century caps that I've owned, including the one on my current F150.
