topper help!

A friend of mine just picked up a Silver 2003 1st gen with a long bed . Hes driving it from Vermont to Chicago suburbs, then from there to Jackson Hole WY. He's looking for a topper and open to purchasing along the described line of travel. Told him I would post on here to help him out. For the first gen tacos, would a topper from another truck/make fit? Or does it NEED to be specific to a long bed 1st gen tacoma? While I'm going here, I might as well ask, is anyone selling theirs? Thanks in advance!

 

You'll need a truck-specific topper. He'll be looking for a topper for a regular cab, or an xtracab. the doublecabs have a shorter bed.

most toppers are designed not only for bed dimensions, but for the profile of the back of the cab.

 

Ah, I see. Thanks for explaining. He's got an xtracab.

 

the reg cab first gens are more vertical at the cab, the xtra cab is more sloped. you will want want for an x-cab reg/long bed, not the short bed.

when i make driving trips I look at cragslist for the designated route and plan
