i went to new braunfels,tx this past weekend for some r&r and seen this beauty on the way down in johnson city,tx. (birth and resting place of pres. l.b.johnson). anyway i thought you guys would like to see it and one of you might buy it. it is very clean and would be a great addition to a board members fleet.

**Classic Bowties** · 03-30-2008, 06:33 AM

I like the full cab/chassis look alot better and am still lookin for the right one, here is a pic of that one's half brother.

stllookn · 03-30-2008, 06:37 AM

Those are a little werid looking...but I will bet they could grow on you! I like the OpenRoad a little better as well.

Mint68 · 03-30-2008, 07:23 AM

That is so wierd. I cant believe anybody every thought that was a good idea.

redhead69 · 03-30-2008, 07:38 AM

they look like a bad photoshop joke

**1970cstblazer** · 03-30-2008, 08:46 AM

You don't see the 1 ton flat face cowl models very often.

I don't care for either of those conversions, though..

72cheyennesuper20 · 03-30-2008, 08:51 AM

Kinda weird, I think I might like it, Maybe.

I say chop it... Either that, or add a water bed and some lava lamps. Haha...

nyncompute · 03-30-2008, 11:34 AM

HYAHHAHAAAAAAA outstanding to each his own BUT someone actually sat down and said "oh hell yeah! thats a great idea, lets build them"

caminokid · 03-30-2008, 04:08 PM

The one we had when I was a kid was a 68 GMC full cab. I think this is the first time I have seen one of these. Yeah kinda ugly.

Stoney · 03-30-2008, 04:29 PM

Different looking

haysonj · 03-30-2008, 04:35 PM

Heres a 69 model no bathroom but it keeps me dry

andrewt2 · 03-30-2008, 04:40 PM

is that a shaved cab?! i see no heater box on the firewall!!

**special-K** · 03-30-2008, 05:32 PM

That thing is AWESOME!!! I wish I could buy it!I like anything that has any resemblance to a 67-72 truck.Definately different,which doesn`t scare me a bit.I`d rather drive that than a $250,000 RV.Definately more classy,IMO.If I wanted pretty I`d buy a Vette and sleep in a bed & breakfast.

This was ordered "heater delete" since the body needs it`s own heat source.Like a school bus.

Not a camper,but another cowl`n`chassis truck:
