Does anybody reproduce the GMC "Custom Camper" emblems that mount over the door handles?

I checked out the Brothers website, but they don't list them there (only the chevy "custom" nameplate). Seems the truck I'm looking at may be missing many emblems (engine callouts on front fender, rear bed side Sierra Grande, in addition to these Custom Camper emblems) unless the '72's didn't have them?

I have a set of those, they're still on the doors. I wasn't even sure if they were stock or not, I figured someone thought they were cool and slapped them on there. Sorry to jack the thread, but are custom campers rare? Mine is a 68 GMC with a/c and a fancy, green interior.

67chevemall · 01-19-2005, 02:26 PM

Any pics?
I thought they only said custom?

luckydog · 01-19-2005, 02:36 PM

That's all mine say... I just figured some kid pulled them from a junk pile to make his truck "custom"

**JIMs70GMC** · 01-19-2005, 02:57 PM

Mine say "Custom" also.

Bill72BB · 01-19-2005, 03:47 PM

Here is a PIc of "BB "B4 I removed them .

67chevemall · 01-19-2005, 04:57 PM

very cool!

Longhorn Man · 01-19-2005, 05:00 PM

GMC didn't have the engine badges. The Custom is a low end option package..Custom Camper was nothing more than HD tires, HD springs OR overload springs, anti sway bar, and that's about it. Nothing too special.

**Canadian694x4** · 01-19-2005, 08:27 PM

I've always thought the script "Custom" and "Custom Camper" above the door handles looked very cool on these trucks. I was under the inpression that nobody was reproducing them yet tho...which is too bad.

Overdrive · 01-19-2005, 08:50 PM

yeah, that's the "Custom Camper" script... I'm pretty sure they aren't being repro'd.... but they do set off the truck if it has that option (even though it's nothing too special).

Bill72BB · 01-19-2005, 10:05 PM

Overdrive ; The Brothers catalog I found is an old one but the part # is CCE6772 , 1 800 977-2767

Cool, thanks!... and it list it as the same as pictured?... I'll give them a try!

**special-K** · 01-20-2005, 08:11 AM

Golden State Pickup Parts had them,last I checked.The Custom Camper could be a model in it`s self(CustomCamper/20).Pretty basic w/better mechanical upgrades:HD spring/shock,big radiator,bigger mirrors,and aux.harness for camper.What made them even nicer was there were usually other options typically found on them:wood floor,dual batteries,TH400,leaf rear,4.11s,sliding window.Alot were ordered trucks since they were aimed at a specific use.So,even better optioned trucks are not uncommon:big blocks,a/c,buckets,chrome,aux.tank,tool&storage,posi...A"Top-Of-The-Line"truck could also have the CustomCamper pkg(script on door)adding HD mechanics to a truck built for comfort.The"best"thing about CustomCampers is there are many survivors due to the nature of their use.Many original owners kept(or are keeping)them all these years.Using them only occasionally for"camping trips",usually in times of more pleasant weather.These were usually well maintained`cause,you don`t want any problems on your vacation.Basically,these were early RVs.I`ve been a CustomCamper nut a long time for all these reasons."Keep On Campin`"

Yikes... one would hope that that is for a pair? Their site lacks detail.

Will this convince you?

Longhorn Man · 01-20-2005, 11:46 PM

special K, the big radiator,bigger mirrors,and aux.harness for camper wasn't part of the custom camper. Just springs, tires and shocks.
And the custom camper by model number would be a longhorn.

Hmm... Here's a question then: The GMC equivalent of the Chevy Longhorn model is the Custom Camper correct?? If so... these would then have the "custom camper" emblems?...

Now, are Chevy C/30 fleetside pickups really longhorns? To me, from what I've read so far, the Longhorn is a HD C/20 with the frame and suspension from the C/30. The C/30 just being a C/30... unless those too had the longhorn emblem on the bed?

The reason I ask is I'm looking at a GMC 3500 wideside, and it has no custom camper emblems, or evidence of having any (mind you it had been repainted once). It has some camper options on it (HD springs, camper wiring, and camper mirrors), but not the custom camper option, so it wouldn't have the emblems based on option package. So, I would assume that by model #, the GMC custom camper would be the 2500 model with the 3500 frame, and the 3500 being just a 3500, or should it technically have these emblems on it as well?

I'm just trying to make some sense in all this, as GMC info isn't all that easy to find.

**special-K** · 01-21-2005, 01:48 AM

Whatever.I think you`re wrong.

Longhorn Man · 01-22-2005, 12:05 AM

I can get you part numbers for the mirrors and harness and radator too if you like...my longhorn actually had the harness on it...I threw it away. The aux battery was another common option in a truck purchased to wear a camper on it...but again...a seperate option.

chickenwing · 01-22-2005, 12:25 AM

Ya know I'll have to check now. Mines a 72Cheyenne Super Camper Special. I have the dual battery set-up but I do not remember it on the glove box decal.... I allways thought it was part of the custom camper package.
