I need help finding a cap. I saw it on an F150 and what was sharp about it is the back of it when looking at it from the side view angled down like a rear windshield of a car. It wasn't your typical rectangle cap. I didn't see a brand name on it but then again I couldn't get that close due to traffic.

I checked the normal places like Leer, ARE and Lakeland and it's not one of theirs. Who else makes caps? If it helps in case it's regional this was in Milwaukee WI.

This has some of the look but the curve went further forward and also was curved more. To me this is more angled.

I like the styling on that Snugtop. Looks good atop the bed of that truck.

Can't say the same for that streamlined lid.

It wasn't the streamlined one. This had a flat top and then say a 1/4 from the back is where the curve started.

I've been searching the web too and nothing. Hoping I see the guy again so I can stop and ask him what brand it is.
