Need a Blue Camper Shell for XTRA cab? #683259 01/06/06 08:45 AM

I have a LEER shell that fits a dark blue Extra Cab. I'm hoping there is a rare chance that someone out there has a blue truck with a black camper on it that they would trade out (My T-100 is black). I'm in the Fresno area of California.

Thanks,

Vern

For that matter, anyone in the Indy (or Indiana for that matter) area that wants a blue shell and has a white one? I have a blue shell on my white truck.

Vern,
Too bad we have the same problem... we both have a blue shell. I got mine by purchasing a Blue T100 and keeping the shell for my White T100 when I sold the Blue one. How'd you end up in this predicament?

Joel,
I needed a shell for a trip and found a used one near by for a dark blue T-100 in great shape. The dark blue is pretty close to the black, but I figured I could get it painted. Called MAACO the other day for a budget paint job and they wanted $225 at a minimum.
Garym,
I would rather do a trade, but if I can't find anyone, I'd sell it for what I got it for... $500.00
I'll see if I can post some pics later.

Yeah, I was kinda shocked how much it will cost to repaint as well. Plus, the good body shops also mentioned that painting over the fiberglass doesn't always work out the best.

So for now, I've nicknamed my truck "Bluebonnet" when the shell is on. I remove mine when not needed and store it in my shed.

Painting fiberglass doesn't work out the best?
I've seen a tonne of nice corvettes... oh yeah, they're fiberglass.
My shell is fiberglass and repainted and it looks great, you're just not going to a good enough body shop.
