New Pictures, took the camper off. - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

phlegm · 04-23-2005, 12:34 AM

I have had it for 2 weeks and have only had it topless for a day (today). I had to get a load of mulch etc... but got it covered before the rain started. The original finish still looks great, I cleaned it up. I used #1 Mcguires cleaner, and polished it with Zymoil. 2nd polish coat and buffing to come.

I have decided against full paint until my boy is old enough to help with a frame off. I will however do a backyard job on the bed and trouble spots to keep them from getting worse until we can do it.

Lemmie know wacha think?

Yep, I need to replace a cab support, about 6 inches of the drivers rocker and sand down surface rust at the window awnings(not sure what to call them), on the tailgate and bed. The bed is exposed metal form the rubber mat and shell, so I have to have paint or some room in my garage before the camper stays off.

Believe it or not on a consignment lot in winston salem. It had been there a whole day and a half before I bought it. I didnt steal it, but I didn't go upsidedown on it either.

Thanks guys for the compliments, the Lord has been good to us this year.
