It's one of those camper installer things (that's a technical term, BTW)



I've never seen one work, but apparently there are rails on the bottom of the camper that mesh with the sprockets on that device, and by turning it, it slides the camper into the bed.

As far as plans go-first is to get it back on it's feet. I have a power brake set-up and 2 new brake drums. I hope there are at least 2 on the truck that can be turned. I'll have to rebuild the master cylinder and rebuild or replace the wheel cylinders. It starts right up if I dump a little gas in the carb, but I need a battery, and either the fuel pump is bad or it is right out of gas. A good and thorough cleaning of the interior is in order. It has a wore-out saddle-blanket seat cover on the seat, but under it the seat don't look toooo bad, but I have a set of buckets that I may stick in. I want to be driving it soon!
