Thanks! I have been in contact with the family, there are still kids and grandkids that grew up camping with it. Sadly the husband and wife are gone a few years back.
When I first started this I felt I was "settling" because it wasn't a 1/2-ton shortbox. Like Jesse before me my original intent was to shorten it, but I just couldn't bring myself to modify it. It was too nice and original.
So now, the irony is, my favorite thing about the truck is that it's a TRUCK, ie: 3/4-ton and 1-ton chassis, extended bed, big ass mirrors and lights, all of that.
Did they make a K3500 Custom Camper (Longhorn?) That's about the only thing it's not!
