I did find out that my new slots, which are also quite old, have a 3/4" shaft as opposed to the 16.5 slots using a 7/8".
I used the lugs and washers from the 16.5s on the 15" slots and wasn't happy with how they tightened up. New lugs are on the way...

Re: Jimmy camper pics as promised.

The slots are cool, but I lust after the whole rig including the camper. Would love to take that on some off road camping.

Re: Jimmy camper pics as promised.

Going through a little surgery in paint prison. Glad we are doing it, but it is more involved than we thought... Looks like it already had NOS rockers put on it once.

Re: Jimmy camper pics as promised.

That is why I am afraid to dive into mine. I am afraid there will be nothing left but frame. Good luck!

Common to have missing rocker boxes and the rot in the B pillar. Fortunately, all of the metal has been repopped to properly repair these trucks.

Re: Jimmy camper pics as promised.

Slow going at the body shop. Figured i would clean up the front frame rails with some por-15 while the front clip is off. Hopefully on the road by spring...

Re: Jimmy camper pics as promised.

Finally back from the shop, now its some assembly required...
Too bad most people won't see the work that has been done since it is mainly down low and underneath.
