lwb camper special bed side - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

ofnaman · 09-12-2007, 11:09 PM

I have a '70 camper special and would trade the right side bedside for a decent non camper special bed side. Mine is in o.k. shape but has a little dent right next to the camper door, and the bed rail is a little damaged, also needs a new box (mine has holes). If interested please contact me.

you have any pictures? Is this a GMC longhorn bed, or a camper body??? What doors are you talking about?

if i had to guess, he means the toolbox (see big version of his av. attached here)

its probobly worth more than just a regular bedside, FYI

Let me decifer this...
Do you have an 8' Fleetside bedside with the optional,on any model,"Tool & Stowage Compartment?
Not all "CustomCampers" had this,it was an option.
GMC 8 1/2" equivilents to the Chevy Longhorn were called "CustomCampers".So,a "CustomCamper" bedside would indicate a bedside for one of those.Since you mentioned the door it would indicate the passenger side with the optional Tool & Stowage Compartment".
There would be nothing known as a "CamperSpecial" made in these series of trucks.Ford had a package and so did GM later on.But,GM never had a specific model known as a "CamperSpecial".

I`m sure you can clarify your ad,now.

It's a custom camper (not a longhorn, my rpo label states it has the camper wiring and storage box), my friend had an old ford camper special, so I just automatically think of that. It's the door on the bed that's in my picture (right side). I do have the key for it and it does work. thank you

I also would be willing just to sell the door, latch, and key. Make an offer (I have no real idea of what it's worth). Thank you.

These if they are not rusted are pretty spendy. I would change this to a WIW post on the bedside toolbox door. I have seen the doors in good condition bring up to $200 for the door and hardware.

**special-K** · 09-13-2007, 08:53 PM

Can you get a close-up of the door?It doesn`t have the factory latch,but a utility bed-type handle.I wounder if the door was fabriacted,which would be an excellent idea.Years ago I had a guy that was going to make the skins,but it fell through.
I`ve never seen a wheel arch rust before the door.

There actually is no rust on the wheel arch. Just a poor pic. there is a few little paint chips that have surface rust on them, that is what is seen in the pic. Believe it or not, the truck is 98% rust free.

X2, Something about that door and latch/handle does'nt look right. Cb

Blue_71 · 09-14-2007, 12:51 AM

id bet a dollar to a donut he same thing happened to ofnaman's door that happened to mine. my latch is busted off, inside the stinking door. been trying to "rig" a fix for it for a long time.. right now mine has a bungee cord strapped across the bedside

**special-K** · 09-14-2007, 01:20 PM

I have paint chipped on my Highlander`s arches,too.Original paint/factory black primer showing.I figured it would be rare for a Nevada truck to have rust there.I know those latches get funky.I can`t open mine right now.I`d be interested in the door and fiberglass box.I just think shipping the bedside would be a tough one.Also,I have a CA bedside w/stowage door opening/no door that I bought for a spare.
