Re: Bought a 72 Custom Camper yesterday. Question.
Sure. The picture that is! The GMC is something I would never part with. Even all the original a/c equipment works perfect on it and I have never even had to charge it in the 8 years I have owned it.
The Custom Camper does have some things like the full foam seat option that you would normally see on trim levels above the Custom. It is a Custom 20 which is the lowest series, but of course it has some nice options. I wonder if the Custom Camper bought you things other than the sway bar, HD springs and shocks, camper mirrors etc.? One of the things that surprised me is that it is a TH350 transmission. I would have guessed that as part of the Camper equipment it would have been a TH400, but it is the original and never been out.
I will take a picture of the option tag tonight. I can tell you without looking that it was built at Janesville in 12/71.
Also After hours of looking really hard from different angles I can see where the original owners name shows through where it was painted over on the bed sides just behind the cab as it was required in those days. It says " Hartley" in big styled letters, and then below the name it says " El Rancho Estades ". Anyone one ever heard of a place with that name? There is no state initials.
OT
