1967 Camper tie downs Question - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

unclefreddy · 12-03-2014, 02:09 AM

This is a 1967 C20. Can anyone tell me if these two tie down thingies are from 1967 or were they added on later ? I cant find any info on them. Thanks

Those were added, not a Chevy part. I have them on my 89 V30. I bought them a Camper World

Where is pic #2 located on the truck and does it have a re-enforcement
piece behind it? I assume just behind the cab on the bedside?
Also, are there tie downs in the back also?

Quite cool regardless of era or source!

Unknown if it has a re enforcement plate behind it. The round tie-down is at the rear of the bed. {See truck picture} You can see the hole where it was mounted on the passenger side rear by the tail light. The plate tie down is behind the cab. One of each tie down on each side of the bed. I don't know if I should keep them on or remove them ?

If I had to date them without researching I'd say late 70's.

They are still available, I think the brand name is "Happy Jack"

Close. But, it's actually HappiJac. The buttons are supposed to be attached to the bumper these days. Not sure if that was the case back in the day. Their website still shows them for 1967-1972 trucks.

My 67 Custom Camper has them also. My truck was purchased from the dealer with its camper, slide out bumper and all. Dealer install definitely, but available in 67. Also, (of course I dont have a pic available atm,) but the round piece at the rear of the bed has a slide on style tie down for the rear of the camper. I will try to post pics tonight.

My dad's '68 C10 had them back in the 1972 time frame as we had a slide in camper that we took to the Eastern States Fair each year.
My '67 GMC had them installed as well when I bought it back in '91.
They were not factory installed in my two examples but were installed by a camper dealer when the campers were purchased

This truck has, dual Batteries, 3 gas tanks, camper tie downs and wiring that are not on the spid. I am thinking it was added at the Chevy dealership, camper dealership or the owner did it ?
