'67 K-20 CST Camper project

[silvertip67]

I bought my 67 in Colorado (front range area) from a man that lived on my route to work...I asked him about selling it for a year before he finally gave in...they were original owners(their family) ...it was the family's camper used over a few decades on hunting trips etc...the old "Mitchell" camper had been sold already...I tried to find a decent one from that time to use, but only found ones that were in too rough a shape...

I started building my own...2X2 framew/ a plywood shell...then covered w/ 3/4" foam...fiberglass is next...

after camper is complete I will repaint the truck original color....

all I have dcone to this is the basic tune ups, carb rebuild, brakes...and got rid of the split rim wheels(no one would touch them!) new rubber and some air lift & air shocks front and back...here are a few pics...

I moved east to attend to some family business...am moving back out west in the spring...trying to get this project done for the move...



truck before I did the lift...



truck now with prep begun on paint...



here is the camper progress...





trying to get the "old school" lines I made the front over cab like a barrell...



foam is substrate for fiberglass and also insulation...am using 9.7 oz cloth for overall cover, w/ 40z tape doubled on corners...epoxy two coats then final coat w/ glass beads to make it smooth then paint it white...windows are all being made in my shop from pine and plexiglass...which get installed after glassing......







I love the old "signature" under the hood from the factory say paint was "OK"...also the old dealer sticker from Denver...I going to try and save it when painting...
