    I found this good looking truck cap from an '03 access cab. Will it fit my '05 Double cab?

    Sorry, I know if I looked long enough I could find an answer but i'm sure some of ya'll just know these things. Thanks!

    It's really close but NOT the exact same . . .one will hang over the back a little more on the other, I forget which way it is.
    I think width wise it's the same, and I'm fairly certain the shell-to-cab fit is extremely close, if not the same.

    It should fit but won't be an exact fit as stated above. I have an 02 access cab and my camper shell was made for an 06 Double Cab.

    Mine is a hair long but the main issue is that there is a gap you can only see inside along the front bed rail. It lets water in. You shouldn't have that issue though.

    I just clicked that link and realized that guy has a T3 Terminator Tundra. Those things are getting really rare these days. If I ever see one in person I'm stealing their grill.

    He's posted them on the forum quite a bit. DC caps are about 2" shorter. If he's got the cap square at the tailgate side, it comes up shy of the front rail of the cab side.

    See this: https://www.tundras.com/threads/wou...ess-cab-fit-a-double-cab.108499/#post-2796448

    This topic comes up so much, it's kinda tiring.
