Old Sportsliner Camper shell find
So I had the day off of work yesterday and had decided that I'd shoot out to Modesto to look at a camper that I'd been watching on C.L. for some time now. I ended up picking it up for 40$ (basically the price of scrap aluminum). I've been looking for a longbed stepside camper that looks somewhat correct for my truck for a few years now. I let one go a year or so ago BC the guy wanted over 1K for it. Since then I've found that the long step campers are few and far between. This one came off of a '62 Fleet. Plans are to replace the front and side glass, narrow it almost 24", patch a couple of holes and run it. I like it for the fact that it only weighs about 80 lbs. Oh and I picked up some kick panel vent parts of of the '62 too. So tell me what you think? There is not alot of info out there on these so any input is welcome. It was made by Sportliner and the faded sticker says Denver CO, Columbus OH, and San Jose Ca.

Re: Old Sportsliner Camper shell find
Thanks Rich. I figured for 40$ and a chance to take the truck out to the Valley, I couldn't go wrong. The guy I bought it from was pretty cool too. He had ALOT of 60-63 parts too.

Re: Old Sportsliner Camper shell find
I think it looks awesome out as wide as the cab, I would probably make some way to mount it like that. might look like a hot dog bun as narrow as the bed.
no really, do what you want with it, my opinion is just that, an opinion, and sometimes its really dumb too.

Re: Old Sportsliner Camper shell find
I was going to buy that , when he first posted he was parting the 63 out it was on , he thought I was joking when I inquired about it and forgot to tell me about the damage on it ! I passed as I was going to have it polished out but I did end up buying a bunch of parts from him !! I'm from San Carlos originally
