Help With Finding A Camper Shell/slide In Camper

[Rebelfish99]

Hey guys, I have an 88 longbed and I'm looking for either a slide in camper or camper shell. I'd really prefer the slide in camper but would still consider a shell. I've been calling a lot of people on Craigslist but nobody seems to ever have dimensions on hand, and never call back. I've tried searching for a camper that fits in the back, but having the weird dimensions of a longbed are frustrating. So, does anyone have a list or know what other beds are the same? Or does anyone with a slide-in camper know what models to look for?

 

Thanks guys.

Craigslist can be annoying in that most people don't take the time to list dimensions (or ever lern to spel or put a sentence together) or even post a stinkin' picture.  They say things like "off a Ford" or " fits any long bed truck" or "fits all mini trucks".  Most of the ones that have a picutre either have a stock photo or the thing is laying on the ground or leaning up against a barn.

 

Campers from:

S-10's ...are usually too short...height wise, and a little too narrow. Nissan/Datsun trucks are too small all around.

Older Toyotas have a different angle at the cab. Newer Toyotas (Tundras) are too long, and Rangers are a little too long.

Isuzu, Mitsubishi, Mazda trucks...too narrow.

 

The only right way to do it is to GO and LOOK at a few...and take your tape measure.  Some of the funky (IMHO) looking aluminum camper shells are good fits.  I just sold a shell that did not fit my MJ, because of the angle at the cab sidewall.  I passed on one with a wrong angle at the rear window.
