Camper Top Combatability between GMT 400 vs 800?

[97noob]

Hey Everyone - looking to see if I can run a 6.5ft camper top from a GMT 800 on my 97? Anyone tried that out?

Heavy doubt. Don't have my GMT400 here at the moment to compare but I'd bet the GMT800 bed is "bigger" - not that the cargo floor size is any different, but the body styling is larger.

I'd be surprised if it was "correct". There is also a difference in angle of the extended cab vs standard cab/crew cab at the back of the cab.

Oh but it’s been done I’m sure. I’ve seen tops over-hanging the sides and tailgate.

The GMT800 topper is about half an inch wider on each side, doable but doesn't look great. Played around with the topper my dad acquired for his 2003 Duramax, loved the look, hell even the paint matched almost perfectly but it fit like crap.

Spent some time cruising craiglist and found one for an OBS, ran it for a little while and sold it. Managed to find another for free, just needed a little work.

just been thru this, as BNielsen says, GMT800 topper is too wide, its also too long.

There's degrees of "do it fit" and "do I care" - clearly this fella did not care, at that price point!

What's crazy is I posted these pics on FB, and later that day a buddy of mine saw the same truck across town, took a pic as well:

I don't have a picture.....
The cab angle is the only issue I had. The topper is about 1/2" from the back of the cab. I have aftermarket bed rail caps and 1/4" topper seal, all helped the clearance. The width was not an issue on my truck, the topper is a LEAR.
Put 'er on, see how it looks!
