1972 Chevrolet Pickup with a Open Roads truck camper
Hello everyone. Back in the 70's I had a 1972 Chevrolet Pickup with a Open Roads truck camper. I sold them both and I thought I had some photo's of the truck and the camper. If anybody has some photo's of them can you please post them? Thanks, they were fond memories and I just wished that I had some photo's of them.

Re: 1972 Chevrolet Pickup with a Open Roads truck camper
Sorry, it's not an Open Road, but I thought you might like this shot I took of my 69 with a Four Winds shortly after I bought them new (ignore the date on the picture as it is when I took a picture of the slide). I'm new to attaching pictures so I hope this works. I still have the truck and camper, but not the bike.

Re: 1972 Chevrolet Pickup with a Open Roads truck camper
That is gorgeous, everything about it...Truck, Camper, Bike, I can imagine going on vacation trips around the states in that...in the good ol days of course.
PS; I just thought about the overall length of that baby, and not a parking sensor in sight Not exactly what your after Pathfinder...but it may help.

Re: 1972 Chevrolet Pickup with a Open Roads truck camper
Thanks FirstOwner69, That is one sweet truck and truck camper you have there. You say that you still own it? I wished that I still had mine. My truck looked like yours only it was a two tone paint job, light blue and white. The truck camper looks the same too from what I remember it too. The Four Winds and the Open Road must have been very simular back in those days. The Open Roads that you see a lot of, at least what I see now when one mentions an Open Road was a Camper built right on the bed of the truck. My Open Road was a slide in Camper just like your Four Winds. If I could I would like to go back into time and get the truck and truck camper back again! Heck while I'm going back in time I would get back my 63 Chevrolet Impalla SS too. that's one car when I think of it I could just kick myself!
Thanks, Tom |

Re: 1972 Chevrolet Pickup with a Open Roads truck camper
I just went and looked at a camper that looks pretty dang close to this one. It is in a 70 chevy and is really, really clean. I'm going to get the camper in a couple of weeks and will put it in my Longhorn and we'll use it this summer.

Re: 1972 Chevrolet Pickup with a Open Roads truck camper
Beautiful Tim, I love these so much they are everything I remember and assosiate with the U.S as a kid, big colorful & glamorous campers and motorhomes of the seventies...you guys were really lucky, I wish you hadn't sold it.
