Hi ya'll!

New to this site. I have an old beat up 91 ranger that I'm looking to restore and add a cool vintage top.

I'm in San Diego and having a hell of a time finding the vintage ones online. Curious if anyone has any tips or ideas on where I can find them or if these old school ones will even fit my 91 3.0 Custom Single Cab. The bed dimensions are roughly 76 x 63 inches

I found 1 trailer yard near me with about 30 of these but seems they're out of business and I can't figure out how to get in touch with the owners. Until then, thoughts? Thank you!!

ryan

Its probably better to be self deprecating than self defecating.
I'm relatively sure you can take a trip to town hall and theyll be able to put you in touch with whoever owns the property the business sat on.

Longbeds are a bugger to find toppers for... let alone a camper thing.

It took me 6mo just to track down a topper...

On the plus side since nobody else wants them they are cheap. Mine was $40



The slide in camper things are kind of alien to me... they look cool but I have never been around one.

EDIT: Duh, longbed older trucks are longer than 72”, I haven’t drooling over new trucks too much. I will show myself to the corner.

This is my problem. Trying to find a 7' bed camper shell is I guess impossible. I found 1 a while back at a pick a part but it was extremely flimsy and wasn't going to pay $100 for it and have it fall apart before even leaving the lot with it as they wouldn't assist with getting it across the lot, nevermind they have at least a 1/2 dozen forklifts sitting around.

I keep searching I'd love to have one on my 87 Ranger for the winter months especially.
