There are people in the business of converting original radios into modern spec systems.No names come to mind,but I have info somewhere.I don't know enough to attempt any modifications myself.The guy I want to use gives you back an original looking radio with 180w,am/fm,and provisions for cd/xm/mp3.I figure I'll just use the am and use the preset buttons for 5 fm stations,since the dial will only read am.

The hub caps seem harder to find than the Chevys.The stainless ones can be restored,another thing I'd leave for a professional.I'd love to say I have the skills,but don't have the tools & equipment to even try.

Custom Camper was an optional equipment package that included HD springs & shocks and,IIRC,HD radiator and a front sway bar.GM also offered a Custom Camper nameplate,camper/towing mirrors,a camper wiring harness,and other features to equip to enhance a truck's camper hauling capabilities.
