another for the crusher - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

budgetstperformance · 09-27-2008, 06:19 PM

hey guys this is my first time posting in the 67-72 side. i have a 87 crew cab dually and i am a big fan of the older ones too.

so ive seen this 72 camper dually by my shop and haven't meet the owner until yesterday. i asked him about the truck and he told me it had no motor or tranny and he was moving from florida to tennesse and needed to dispose of the truck. i told him i would shot some pics and put them up here and he informed me the scrapers were on the way and he was selling it for $200 for scrap metal. if i had $200 dollors and needed another project i could of got him to call off the scrapers but i had to pass on this one.

so thought you guys would find this intreating, sad or atleast informative to see the evolution of things. im sure there was more than a few classics cars and trucks have gone the way of the scraper only to see restored versions sell for big money years later. im not implying we will be seeing any 72 campers go through barett jackson for hugh sums but this could have been a cool project for sombody.

and now a molment of silence for the camper: rip camper

lets hear some of your experiences with the metal recyclers or "scrapers" i like to call them.

Too bad.The grille and front bumper were probably worth the 2 bills.

Looks like a cheyenne package also. Probably bucket seats... Can't quite make out the fender emblem, but it may have had some big block parts left under the hood. Plus who knows??? Tach, tilt, am/fm. Maybe someone will get some parts before it meets its demise...

sway bar, power brakes, disc setup.

I'm with too much stuff, she looked like a Cheyenne.

rip big girl....

Cyclone44 · 09-27-2008, 07:52 PM

With that cover over it the cab should have been in good shape...What a shame..

**WIDESIDE72** · 09-27-2008, 10:23 PM

Argh! It was a Cheyenne and had the headliner trim I have been trying to find!!!

Please say it didn't have a stock FM radio.

"it didn't have a stock FM radio" ha ha

it probably did, i didn't get pics inside but it looked nice all original with factory a/c.

i know it had bucket seats cuz there was a pass through to the back from the cab.

There are usually alot of nice donor parts found on them!

Those old Openroad motorhomes are usually low mileage too. It would have made a really nice flatbed!!!!!!!! Here's a former dually motorhome that belongs to oldiron.

jayharrell · 09-28-2008, 02:51 PM

the Fm radio was worth $200 alone. Bucket seats about $400. Too bad. Gotta do what you gotta do.

Welcome to the board anyway. Now lets not have any more pictures of ones heading to the scales. LOL...
