The only factory white on my truck were the bumpers. I have decided to keep it that way.

Tastefully done. I wouldn't change a thing on that truck.

Since added 15x8 rims with 275/60/15 and 1/3 drop. Only picture I have.

Here's you one of my 72, I took a couple of weeks ago with my 55 out in the driveway.

Been a long time, still miss the truck. Here's another shot on the Hatteras - Ocracoke Is. ferry in NC. Color matches the island name...kinda sorta if you pronounce ochre wrong

I love the matching slide-in. Any pics of the inside that you saved?

That's an awful nice short bed you have there. The graphics were turquoise underneath. The original owner I bought it from was a real stickler about things...and I sure did appreciate that. I guess he matched it right up when he bought it. The wood bed looked like it never saw weather, so I had a white tonneau cover made for when the camper came off. Unfortunately I have no interior shots. It was cherry veneer with salmon colored appliances. The curtains had bird and deer hunters on them and can't recall the cushion upholstery. I think it was brownish. After the trip to the SW the curtains were falling apart, dry rotted, and the cushions got worn pretty bad. My X made plaid curtains with a fabric I got and I had my upholstery guy cover the cushions with a dark gold heavy woven fabric with saddle naughahyde on the backs with zippers to remove and wash.

Actually, I have video tape of my son on the bunk in there. I wonder how I could covert that. Are there still places that convert VHS to DVD? Heck, they're trying to make those obsolete now

I'd say that truck is actually holding it's own pretty good up against that Iconic 55.

Thanks. Its a hard decision on which one to get out in sometimes. I love old campers almost as much. Just finished up my Scotty rebuild and almost painted it Ocher but my wife nixed that one. Ended up painting it to match the 55 but it goes well with the truck too.

Mighty fine combo going down the road. The camper truck was in need of a lot and the X kept making vacation plans that left it out of the picture. So, I decided to go with a low-profile pop-up style (4wheel campers) for the white K2500 so I could load kayaks on top, haul Harley on trailer (no overhang) and go on adventures with my son, other than just campgrounds. Tore into the camper, hadn't bought the low-pro yet, she wrecked the finances, and left. The rest is history. Still hope to get there, though.

Still have the assembly line writing on the firewall. I have repainted the rockers and corners after replacing them.

Since this popped back up I will add my '71. I'm the 2nd owner. Original owner removed the slide in, sold the bed and put a dump bed on it to use around the farm. Originally had a 402/TH400 but grandson pulled the engine and transmission because he needed the trans. He still had the engine but he wouldn't let it go with the truck when I bought it. First picture is when I brought it home, second is cleaned up with bed removed and third is now with replacement bed on it.

Been quite a while since I posted initially...actually close to 20K miles since I got it on the road May 2020...doing what it was made to do....haul 6.0 liter LS from the junkyard!

GoFast, I recognize that pic n pull (sparks?)

72c20customcamper · 08-28-2021, 12:47 PM

Mine . Truck was repainted but they used the ochre and white since they I assume didn’t know the correct color. Mine was special order Placer gold and white. I will eventually redo it to original colors

tristan · 08-28-2021, 01:27 PM

Mine is almost to the finish line after 5 years of cosmetic and mechanical surgery.
