Try to google fiberglass camper shells. There are lots and lots of them. When you get a list of 5 or 6 you wanna talk about ask your questions then.

Try looking at Century or A.R.E. brands. In my opinion they are two of the best. Not cheap, but an excellent product.

Check your local Craigs list. New ones are $1000+. A used one is $300-$400.
Typiclly each truck bed is a little diffrrent from one company to another. Keep looking until you findone you like.

All the mfrs make different ones for your truck. You have to search and find one you like. I agree that you should check Craigslist. They are 1/3 the price usually...

For sure on the Craigs list, have found a few already. What I would like to know and have been told is, the 88 to 98 chevy short bed camper shells will work on the 94 to 01 Dodge short beds?? Just wondering if anyone on here has tried a Chevy short bed 88 to 98 and made it work ok?

Well, none of the caps made for other brands of trucks will fit correctly. The big problem is the Dodge tailgate is not flat in the back, like others are. Also, the tapered sides of the bed make it not perfectly square.

But, with that thought in mind, you can get almost anything to fit. Just measure length and width and see what you can find.

My truck has a cap from a F-150, don't know what year. The bed rails seal, even thought the taper is incorrect. There's a small gap at the edges of the tail gate. But, the color matches, and it's water proof (mostly). I paid $180 for it; found it on Craigs List.

Thanks for all the replys. .boB I just figured out the not flat across tail gate today. I have never even thought about it, did not know it was not straight across. Looks like I am gonna give myself a few weeks to find a Dodge specific one and if no luck. Just order one and bite the bullet. I think finding one for a Dodge short bed and also in Black is a needle in a haystack. LOL Thanks again for the help.

Check the classified in the different Dodge diesel sites also sometimes Dodge dealers have shells that have been on trucks traded in.
