Exclamation 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.
Tom

Thanks Special-K, that kind of looks like it too. My truck was a two tone, light blue and white paint job. The open road on the brochure looks like the one I had. Hope that there are some photos of one out there!

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.

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.

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

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.

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.
