I've installed a canopy for winter on my Strada.It came from a quad cab Chevy Colorado and it fit
perfectly.No more snow in the box.Painted the same color as the truck.
Just for winter 'cause in summer the roll-bar will comeback.
Picture will follow.

That looks great! How are you finding your Strada? I see you have salt like us here...did you get it undercoated?

Well done,
I've been curious for a while if there is a cheap canopy I could throw on my strada and look good. Now I know there is.
Is there certain years that the canopy will/will not fit? or will i find that out myself.
And yes the roll bar definitely stays on during the summer!!!

I've find my Strada with the help of Karim from Silkroadautos.nice guy.
http://www.silkroadautos.com
And yeah each years my truck is anti-rust oil treated, everywhere.The first year
i had it,i shoot undercoat everywhere under the truck,chassis and at critical place.
I hate salt.It eat everything.I hate rust.
So for the canopy,any chevy colorado QUAD CAB,from 2005-on, will fit.
It's the same size of box.

awesome, thx strada92..
another thought. could you have the canopy on with the roll bar still in its place??? just make a 2 or 3 inch C-channel spacer between the box and canopy???
cheers

No,i have to remove the roll-bar in order to install the canopy.
The roll-bar is stored for winter.
I also passed a wire for center high mounted stop lamp.
Not a big job.easy to do.
What about your truck Strada-caster?Do you find the problem of your power steering?
And do you have some picture?
