I just bought an 08 Crew Cab with a 5.5' short bed.

I want to pick up a cheap cap for my truck. I'm going to be driving up to Missouri in July with my new truck, and in the bed we're going to be bringing our 3 dogs. I only intend to use it occasionally, so I don't really care if it looks good, or if it fits 100% perfectly. I care more about function than form for its purpose.

Will a cap from the previous gen F150, 2000-04 fit (mostly) an 04-08 gen? Just curious to know if I can expand my search to include the caps on Craigslist from the previous gen, because I have to admit, the previous gen F150 caps are a LOT cheaper than caps for my Gen.

Similarly, will caps from other makes (Dodge, Chevy, Nissan, etc.) fit my Gen F150? Again, I don't care if it fits perfectly, or looks factory-perfect. I just wonder if any other caps are "good enough."
