i'd say that's a camper for an 8 foot bed and this is a Longhorn truck.

Because it's a Longhorn. Camper was made for a regular 8 ft. bed.

Big reason why the Longhorn disappeared, lack of suitable campers, and the 8' bed 1 ton pickups appeared in '73

**Steeveedee** · 01-03-2026, 01:28 PM

The original shell fit the Longhorn bed, and was installed in '73. I had a new shell made 10 years ago. It's the currently on the truck. Longer shells were and still are available.

Yes, that trucks is a Longhorn but has a standard 8' slide-in camper. Some of the RV manufacturers back in the day did make special 8.5' campers for Longhorns. The Longhorns were basically replaced by the 'Big Dually' in '73.

The camper is a rare Silver Streak. They built high quality all-aluminum travel trailers and slide-in campers. Some said they were built even better than Airstreams.

I feel like the fans of this thread will be very interested in the truck shown in the video posted by another member in a different thread.

Give it a watch if you haven't already.

Good instinct, that is one hell of a beauty! Love that color combo. The owner seems to have a pretty good understanding of the details too which is cool.

Very nice truck

Thanks for posting! Definitely a time capsule! One pattern seems to be developing, we are seeing higher trim vehicles, probably bought for recreational-hobby-personal use second car, not the base no frills models which were mainly bought for daily work chores.
