Re: CUSTOM CAMPERS lets see them!
Thanks for clearing that up for me.

Re: CUSTOM CAMPERS lets see them!
Yeah,in reality,any pickup could haul a camper. And,you could have a truck that wasn't a Custom Camper and have more camper truck options than one that was a Custom Camper. Everything but the nameplate is available on any truck. All Custom Campers were 20s and 30s,but in '69 it was offered on 10s. I had one and I wish I still did (kick kick). It was a K/10 CST:Maroon Poly,Red interior,bucket seats,tach,pinstripe,wood floor,aux. tank(rear factory),8.25-16.5 wheels,manual throttle,aux. battery...
Your truck is a Custom Deluxe,like my Blue & White '72 K/20 was.

Re: CUSTOM CAMPERS lets see them!
Here's a shot of my '71 Cheyenne Custom Camper on the ferry from Hatteras,NC to Ocracoke Is,NC in the Outer Banks. Nobody's heading that direction now with hurricane Irene bearing down:

Re: CUSTOM CAMPERS lets see them!
Here's mine. I bought it about 3 weeks ago from the wife of the original owner who recently passed away. It has been sitting for about 5 years, I'm trying to get it cleaned up and sorted out for my DD as my current vehicle is about to take that final offramp, LOL.

Re: CUSTOM CAMPERS lets see them!
Another great thread. These type of informative threads are one reason I love this site and don't mind paying the 25.00 a year to be on the boards.

Re: CUSTOM CAMPERS lets see them!
I believe most of it is. The PO told me they got sideswiped at some point on the passenger side. There is some poorly applied filler in the RR corner of the cab, the screws holding the right mirror on are not original and there is evidence the right rocker received some pounding.
I don't think it was a complete repaint, just the white on top and the right door and cab corner/rocker area. The filler job on the corner of the cab behind the door is pretty horrible, but the least of my worries for now.

Re: CUSTOM CAMPERS lets see them!
That is interesting as my 68 has been hit on the box on the passenger side as well. The rest I believe to be original paint.

Re: CUSTOM CAMPERS lets see them!
Another Custom Camper ordered without optional large mirrors. Tires are 16" mounted on 2 piece rims ( very common during this period ).

Re: CUSTOM CAMPERS lets see them!
Always sad to see a well optioned classic neglected. Got the rear end too? The coil spring version of the dana 60 3.54 ratio is hard to find. Not to mention the optional 16.5" wheels on spid (clip type for '68) probably long gone, which are very hard to find as well.

Re: CUSTOM CAMPERS lets see them!
Here is one that got away. While putting a loan together for the truck and a dog box, my job went away. It sold shortly later.
Anyway, original rust free, '71 Custom Camper/30, CST/Cheyenne, 400, 4-speed and just about everything but A/C. 85k on the odometer... Still have dreams about this truck and a M&H or NAPCO conversion kit.

Re: CUSTOM CAMPERS lets see them!
Nice looking Longhorn there. Kind of funny how the cap had to be extended.
