They don't rust here...they just grow moss...LOL! 133 wheelbase dually...would be nice with my halfhorn bed. Camper is trashed! Less than 90,000 miles on rig.

stllookn · 03-28-2009, 06:16 PM

More pics of water damage in camper...no recovery...too bad since it has a rock solid cab under all that moss...LOL!

**fine69** · 03-28-2009, 08:16 PM

I think you need a tetanus shot for getting too close to that thing.

ETsC10 · 03-28-2009, 08:56 PM

Get it Mike!Get it Mike!Get it Mike!
and part it out!!

I got first dibs on the snout!!

**El Jay** · 03-28-2009, 09:01 PM

I don't see nothing wrong there that a sawzall won't fix.

If I were employed & in the "neighborhood", I'd be all over that baby like white on rice, dots on dice, & cold on ice.

stllookn · 03-28-2009, 10:52 PM

I would not let my wife out of the car to look at it! When we drove up she said.."I've seen enough and I will never ride in that thing!". It certainly needs a chlorox bath and SAWZALL treatment! Gotta tell you that the cab, as usual on these old motorhomes, was pretty much spotless under all that moss.

I keep hearing a voice that says "Dually Longhorn"!

My Dad's '68 C20 had the spare on the nose like that. I have no idea why it was mounted there instead of being underneath, but he never moved it in all the years he had that truck.

stllookn · 03-28-2009, 11:03 PM

Funny thing...there was one split rim on the left front. The spare on the grill was a standard 16 inch as were all the others on the truck. I guess it got removed once...LOL!

caminokid · 03-28-2009, 11:23 PM

I think I see the longhorn dually too. The world needs more duallys!

67CHIP72 · 03-28-2009, 11:48 PM

That is a perfectly sized hutch; too bad its gone. I don't remember seeing one that short. Am I mistaken or were most longer than that? Anyone have a pic of a similar size in better shape?

Lippyp · 03-29-2009, 02:55 AM

That has to be worth saving. You could always rip out the interior, sort the leaks and refit it.........

spinning wheels · 03-29-2009, 03:12 AM

I would love to get my hands on one of these motorhomes, but I would have passed on this one. I would need to suit up in a hazmat suit, just to tear it apart

One question. Is the cab closed off from the rest of the motorhome? Or can you walk into the motorhome, from the cab area?

OARNGESI · 03-29-2009, 06:03 AM

I bet that would clean up really nice

Lippy and ORANGES....That's the "can do" attitude!!!!

Most were 157 inch wheelbase. The really cool one I am looking for has the sliding glass door in back and tilt up patio! This is the shory version of that one. There were 17' and 19' versions on the 157" wheelbase.

spinning wheels...all the Open Road conversions had walk-throughs to the front so they cut a big chunk out of the cab that needs to be repaired if you are converting back to a flatbed.

texanidiot25 · 03-29-2009, 01:09 PM

Fricken awsome... I have dreams of a slammed camper right now.

Layin frame while scramblin' eggs, never mind that hump in the floor hun..

**oldgold70c10** · 03-29-2009, 04:10 PM

That is pretty cool.

Bob 68327 · 03-29-2009, 04:18 PM

I had a 15 Royale a few years ago too bad it was a blue oval I will try to find some pics of it I bought it to part it also had a rock solid cab and front end and a 390 w/55000 miles on it . Bob

My Dad's '69 C20 had a nose mounted spare. I remember seeing a few around in those days. Didn't think too much of it at the time. Seems like we actually pulled it off a time or two for a flat tire.

big_al_71 · 03-29-2009, 04:37 PM

When I saw the pict what came up on my head was a duplicate of the 67 flat bed dualyy from the fast and the furious 4 movie...
Flat bed, semi wheels , dual stacks.....sweeettttttt...

Longhorn Man · 03-29-2009, 07:43 PM

mike... do it... you KNOW you want to!

jeffspower · 03-29-2009, 07:59 PM

Are you sure that is moss? The SPID does list "special paint".

Maybe that is the super ultra rare enviromentally friendly finish

justcuz · 03-29-2009, 09:13 PM

Is there a way to unbolt the camper and slide it off the frame? I would worry about tearing that thing apart with all the mold in there. Breathe that crap and you could get pneumonia or something. I'd just dump the camper in the back 40 and set fire to it! If I brought something like that home my wife would kill me. She has asthma and is allergic to mold, this truck would literally kill her if she got within 2 feet of it!
