Making progress on the 72 Custom Camper - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Teeitup hooked me up with some nice driver quality woodgrain trim (thanks Randy!)and other than figuring out what to do with a rear bumper set up, some engine compartment work, and machining the rear wheels to accept the 5.1" centers, its starting to look real nice.
Figured I would share a few pictures from when I got it in January and how it looks now.
Cant wait to get it on the road!

Lookin' good Tim!!!

Ozark Tim · 04-10-2012, 04:50 PM

Thanks Nate!

72BlckButy · 04-10-2012, 05:05 PM

I really like this truck and hope that it doesn't leave the fleet. But if it does... call. Haha!

How's that square bodied 4x doing?

Great looking Custom Camper! Keep up the good work!

Ozark Tim · 04-10-2012, 05:13 PM

Thanks and you'll be my first call Nate! I will hang on to this one a while but then you know me....LOL!
The 85 is doing good. Need some time to drive it to the farm for a weekend and swap it out with my old 72 C-20 farm truck I keep down there. Just got tired of getting stuck in wet grass....
Thanks for all the compliments y'all.

It looks great!!

**special-K** · 04-11-2012, 06:24 AM

Looks great. I have always loved the C/20 Custom Campers. I miss having one and I guess I have to be second in line if you bump your head and decide to sell.

Ozark Tim · 04-11-2012, 08:22 AM

Thanks Tim & Joe!
If I would, well lets say when I do decide to You will be on my short list with Nate.
I like em too, but arent we supposed to like short bed 1/2 tons? I like them also but there is something appealing to me about these Custom Campers...They are just cool trucks.

Looks great!

No, not all of us have been brainwashed by the magazines. There is something very appealing about a full size pickup that can carry a full size load. And your pickup is very appealing!

That's best reason why you have to have more than one truck.

Btw my 2500 gmc is very jealous of the slots
