My 1988 Syncro came with an aluminium canopy - quite a nice one too -
although it is not a factory canopy.  There are three styles of canvas
canopies - cab height (very rare), 1' above the cab (have lots of these) and
3' above the cab (you don't want this!).  I have also seen some nice,
probably one of a kind fibreglass canopies in Europe.

  Subject: Double cab questions

  Hello List, I am considering getting a double cab when my lease expires on
my
  GMC truck next year.  My question is, is there a shell/cap available in
North
  America for the double-cab?  I have seen the canvas covers and they will
not
  suit my needs.  Any info on this would be appreciated.  Plus if anyone
wants
  a good low mileage GMC truck, my payoff is a lot less than low blue book
on
  it and I could make a deal any time before Nov 2002.
  TIA,
  Loretta
