I'm on a budget and looking for a fiberglass shell for my 2008 5.5 foot bed. Are there shells made for other trucks (Ford, Dodge etc) that would fit OK on my truck if I found a good deal for one on Craigslist/forums/locally?

I seriously doubt it.

If you are not particular about the fit of the cap to the truck cab lines, yes you might be able to use one for another brand of truck.

But, truck caps are usually made to a particular make and style of truck. I have a ARE brand cap (4are.com) MX style for my 2007 DC long bed. It has a higher than cab height. That model is not available for the CM. Look at their web site for what is available for the CM. Leer also makes caps for your truck. (leer.com) Good luck with your search.

no other full size p/u have 5.5ft bed as far as I know.

Ford, Nissan, Dodge, and Chevy have 5.5 ft beds, now you know.

Thanks for the comments all. I will probably go with a fold up canopy like a softopper. Fits more with my lifestyle, occasional dog trips and hunting/camping.
