Title: Camper top for 83 Silverado?
Post by: treepete on August 29, 2010, 02:57:01 pm
Its my understanding that a camper top for my year was available from the dealership? Does anyone have any information/ specs of the camper?

Thanks in advance.

My plan is to chop the roof one day and then chop the camper top proportionatly, but for now, I would just take it to the local campground with my son. Thanks for your thoughts on this.

oh yeah, and I finally finished the interior today after a year. Then I broke the glove box lock, lol. So yeah. It WAS done for about a minute. :)

Pete

Probably a dealer installed option.  I can tell you they are specific if you want one to fit right.  Basically 72" x 100"  Close fit would be off a 80-96 F-series longbed looks decent.  Look out on craigslist, I see them all the time.

This cap that was on my M1028 would have made a great camper.
Wish I kept that truck.

Does a top for an 80-96 Ford line up properly with a Chevy cab though ????

The ones I have had in the past did.  They just don't follow the taper towards the rear but they do look fine.

No pickup came factory with a camper top, dealer installed sure, but not from GM.
The ONLY option to this would be the Chalet's
