Truck Shell Question

I found this truck shell on CL and it says for the 2003-2006 ranger. Would this fit on my '99 Mazda extended cab? I didn't think the bed size was any different but I wanted to make sure before I went and looked at it. Thanks

The bed rails on mine are not flush with the side of the cab like they are on a Ranger.

Just measure the rails on your bed and measure the cap. If everything lines up pick it up man, I love my topper some of the best money I ever spent on my truck
