topper interchange?

I have a HD Secutiy Shell on my 1979 F-150, 8' bed. It is an awesome shell, but I want to get rid of it now. Does the interchange on camper/ shell fitment extend beyond 73-79?
if I sell it, I wanna make sure it will work for the buyer.

I don't know if it will fit exactly but several posts have stated that drop-in bed liners work all the way to 1996. With that said, maybe bed caps may also fit.

I say find later model Fords and measure them up.

Yea, good idea. And I need to check the tailgate dims, because this is one of those utility toppers that you remove the tailgate, and it has swing open locking metal doors.

Pretty sure it fits to 96, call a topper company and tell them you bought a used version of whatever company they are for a 96 and you have a 73, ask them if it fits.
