bagged with camper-check it out - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

72highlander · 09-02-2007, 03:14 PM

when i bought my truck, it had this ugly camper on it that was on it since new. it's a gem top, made for your chevrolet. i even have the owner's manual and brochures for it. i took it off when i got it. my son looked at an ebay pic and asked me if i liked the house on it. once i got it bagged, i had to put it back on to get a pic. i drove it around as low as i could get it without dragging to see what kind of looks i could get. just thought i'd share.

the curtains nearly match the plaid highlander seat in color, it is one sweet set-up, even my four year old told me it was ugly and to take it off!!

yeah, they are a love/hate deal... ever since I was a kid, I'd see one and ask... why not just get a van? And even moreso on an el camino... just get a wagon and call it a day.

With the otherwise OEM look of the trim on that truck, it doesn't look horrible on that bed

Anyone from Texas making the trip up to Seattle anytime soon? I bet I could trade some of my granddaughters Elmo stuff for it. =)

I keep my camper top on Big Blue 'cause its good for storage and to sleep in when I've had a few too many to drive home.

You should have just aired out the rear & cruised for that "overloaded" look!

72BlckButy · 09-02-2007, 10:48 PM

To each their own.... but it doesn't look all that bad!

killer71 · 09-02-2007, 10:58 PM

If i was still a bachelor and it was my ride I would nickname it "bedrock" I like it!
