few more questions

well im looking at getting a camper shell for my truck. it would make things a bit easier.

and i found a leer shell, but its white. which will look okay on a silver truck temporarily.

but what color is my 07 silver ranger?

what is the exact color? or how can i find it...

and heres the shell
http://reno.craigslist.org/pts/1067832939.html

what do you guys think
i know they're a bit oldman-ish

but function > form right?

The Paint code for your truck should be in the driver's side door jam.

I'm putting a Leer on as well..

I totally agree with function usually being on the top of my list. If I were you I'd just get it painted to whatever color code is on your door jamb.

I have the Leer for my truck. That exact same setup. It is GREAT for camping. I have a nice little aluminum boat that sits right on those racks too. Throw a twin size matress in the back, and you got the best setup around. No tents, little mess, and its actually kinda warm in the winter too.

Check the sticker in your driver side door jamb.
