Alignment of the Toppers
Monday, November 12, 2007
I was putting the topper shell back on my pickup truck today, and I was having a really hard time getting the shell aligned properly with the body of the truck. Then I recalled the numerous times my brother and I would help Opa put his topper on, and how he aligned it. While I don't have the older, wooden slide rule that Opa used (like this photo), I do have a nice little combination square I use for carpentry that worked wonderfully.

Sorry I wasn't there to crawl inside the bed of the truck and use my back to lift the top a little to make it easier to align. :)

Yeah, I actually moved the topper from the ground up to the bed of the
truck using this method. I forgot that part. I need grandkids!
