What was a camper carnival?
 

So my aunt gave me an old first aid kit from a 72 chevy truck. Still has all of the original stuff inside of it. Anyways the reason why I posted is because it says "Camper Carnival", never heard of that before. I am sure alot of guys on here have heard of it and some I assume even own or owned one.

If you know what made a truck a camper carnival series please let me know. I would assume like a "Highlander" version something made it different from regular trucks. If anyone has any pics please feel free to post them.

Wow! Sorry for the LARGE PICTURES. I was having the I T guy at my in laws company re- size pics for me but he doesn't work there anymore. Need to learn how to re-size myself and fast.

Pics look great. I have a 19" monitor and they look fine to me.

Can't speak for the rest of the group... but you know... :lol: Wish I could help, but I have no idea what it means.

never heard of such a thing.

Re: What was a camper carnival?
 

Looks like it may be a promotional item for either the "custom camper", trucks or the 1 ton motorhomes.

Just my guess.

Can't help, but its a cool find in any case.

Re: What was a camper carnival?
 

There was an advertizing campaign that was the Truck Carnival.
Tied to that

Re: What was a camper carnival?
 

I agree,it was a sales event and they gave out first aid kits.

My Grandma had a First Aid kit in her '66 Caprice, that 72 one is pretty sweet.

Re: What was a camper carnival?
 

I had one of those once, it was a promotional thing.

Wonder what happened to mine????

Re: What was a camper carnival?
 

they shoulda handed them out in the 73 - 87 fire balls!
Just kidding square body guys.
If it makes you feel any better at all, I am starting to almost consider warming up to that generation.

Re: What was a camper carnival?
 

I wonder if that came in the 72`s with the motor homes in the rear, instead of a bed

Re: What was a camper carnival?
 

I have one of those as well and it was a promo item. It may have been listed as part of the accessory item as well. They are a pretty rare item, but one on ebay currently for $64. Neat piece for show trucks imo.

Re: What was a camper carnival?
 

Thanks for the info. everyone. Just assumed it was a name of a type of truck, never crossed my mind that it could be talking about a promotional event. Thats what I like about this place every 67-72 question can be answered here!

Re: What was a camper carnival?
 

Why not just reproduce the sticker and slap it on a new first aid kit? :D

Re: What was a camper carnival?
 

I'll bet that nothing in the kit is sterile anymore! :lol: BTW, go to Microsoft's website and look up "Powertoys for Windows XP" (if that's what you're running). Just find and install the image resizing application. It makes resizing pictures a heck of a lot easier.

Re: What was a camper carnival?
 

Yeah! Im sure anything that isn't still sealed is not useable anymore. Thanks for the tip Dark Knight, on re sizing the pics I will check it out. When it comes to computers I need all the help I can get.

Im going to see if i can make a sticker for a new first aid kit for the blazer
