Used camper shell fitment

Hey everyone. I think this has been talked about. But I still haven't really gotten an answer. 2014 taco double cab LB. Who's put a used shell from another make on there truck? Are there any shells for other pickups that fit our beds?

Would an access cab taco shell fit a double cab providing bed length was correct?

 

Access cab and DCLB trucks use the same shells.

Regular cab shells are specific to that body style as are DCSB shells

 

I'm pretty sure access cab and double cab s
long bed matches up for your year truck.

I know from the 90's and before the shells mixed and matched alot better

 

That's what i thought too. Anyone got any info about mix and matching from another make? Nissan, Chevy, Ford...

 

If your truck was a 1994 I'm sure you could find plenty made for multiple models but I highly doubt you're going to find an even halfway decent match from another make. Then you have to worry about getting it water tight and sealed

 

Yeah...the market for used caps is tough with our trucks

 

Every time I've seen someone post here claiming they were able to fit a shell built for another make/model here the figment has been poor and it was obvious that the shell wasn't made for a Tacoma.

 

Figures right!

And HELL yeah fuck cancer!

 

Call this person and ask offer to buy his cap that doesn't match.

Yeah I can see the overhang all over the place...that's why I'm asking if something out there works. Not trying to buy one that's off all over the place. But also can't drive to socal for a used one or spend between 18 and 24 for a new one

 

That's how they are supposed to fit...over the bed cap instead of sitting on top of it.

 

Here's another example -

 

Not every model overhangs.

 

So the general consensus is, if it's not toyota specific don't even bother?

 

Im assume you mean 1800-2400? That doesn’t seem like a bad price for new? Used ones around here go for that range plus some and most are pretty rough to put it nicely.

 

Unless its an aluminum contractors cap, stick to the ones built for a Tacoma.

 

That’s what I gathered so far from this site.

 

Yes that's what I mean. And it's not terrible. But I already paid 1500 for my Decked. So just trying to stick to the used market for a cap. You can find them for under a grand but they go fast. So that's why I was asking if I could open up my search parameters a little bit. But I guess that's not really an option.

 

Don't be afraid to harass a dealership or a private party seller into selling a cap separately off a truck they have listed for sale. This is how I got my cap - hassled the dude until he was like "f it, i'll sell you the cap just to get you to quit emailing me." $500 later and here I am with my cap lol

 

Nice!! See 500 Is do-able!
