Just bought an 08 CrewCab - Will older caps fit?
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."

I can't answer for sure but i think the pre 04 is alot narrower than the 04+ so I do not think they will interchange.I just had this same issue and picked one up on craiglist for $400.leer w/ carpet,flush windows.If your only going to use it occasionally look at the aluminum toppers. Easier on and off and new ones are cheap.
