    Found a Craigslist ad that has a cap for sale. It’s a rough country and the owner is saying it measures 75” long and 62” wide. I have measured my truck and the bed is 77” long by my measurements. Is a cap off a Chevy S10 going to be too short or are those measurement he supplied too small?

    I am driving an 09 regular cab Tacoma. Everyone seems to have a different measurement for the bed.

    Also where might I be able to find the rail slider clamps required to clamp down a shell?

    Thanks in advance for your help.

    Gonna be too narrow, the S10 is about the same size as a gen1 taco. Mini truck vs mid size.

    I mean you could always meet the guy try it and see then if it doesn't fit don't buy it, but were I you I wouldn't waste my time or theirs and would keep looking for a Tacoma cap even it it's workable the line wouldn't be right and the cap probably wouldn't seal.

    As for clamps any cap world or RV dealer should have various attachment methods.

    Thank you for the quick response! I agree. Believe I am going to tell them no and move on until I can find one for a Tacoma. Thanks again!

    Just be patient. It took me a few months, but I found a color matching ARE x-series cover for $400. It was about 200 miles away, but I was headed that way anyway. I almost broke down the week before and bought a new one.
