Title: Factory 1/4 bed fiberglass cap option ????
Post by: TimberJack on April 11, 2010, 11:36:57 pm

Can anybody tell me what the 1/4 bed fiberglass bubble window cap option is called ?? And what truck it came on ? It has a rubber gasket that goes where the rear window would be.  So I guess it's some sort of sleeper cap.  Just wondering what the option or model number is called?  I picked onr up and am not sure what to do with it.

I have no idea what you are talking about.  There was no 1/4 Fiberglass top option.

^ Yep, sounds like a sleeper cap to me. A guy a few blocks from me has one on his early 80's short-wide. Really popular in the 80's and until seeing that one when I moved to the neighborhood in 2007, I hadn't seen on since the mid-90's!

I'll have to snap a few next time I walk by it. It looks like it was 'done' in the '80's. Milk-chocolate brown paint with butternut yellow custom pinstriping. Aluminum modular rims (the ones with all the round holes in them) and lowered some. I believe it's a truckers 'in-town' truck.

I've tossed around the idea of a sleeper but that's my old skool car audio addiction coming through. My brother built a sub box below one in an S10 with a sleeper cap back in 93 with a pair of isobarik loaded 15s. It was neat.  8)

I have a very tiny pic from my camera cell phone of the truck I was talking about. Hard to see but it's the brown truck. I'll try to get better pics soon.
