Re: CUSTOM CAMPERS lets see them!
 

My Custom Camper Highlander. 25k actual miles, sat outside in yard for 20 plus years until I bought it a couple of years ago. Runs quite well now.

Before and after pics plus the SPID.....

Re: CUSTOM CAMPERS lets see them!
 

Nice truck with the YG8 Highlander Package. It surprises me with the way your truck was optioned that the full gauge cluster wasn't ordered. If you havent seen it already there is a whole thread on Highlanders, attached link, and if you haven't posted your truck in there please do with the spid.

Re: CUSTOM CAMPERS lets see them!
 

Here is my 67 Chev CST Custom Camper. Originally 327, th400, rear leafs, buddy buckets, power brakes, wood bottom bed, dealer installed slide out rear bumper. Bought in Brigham city, UT with a 9' camper. When Dad bought it, it still had the camper, 327 had been replaced with a 305 (WTF???) And she had white spoke wheels on her. Dad yanked the 305, dropped a 350 with an RV cam in it and we went camping. Unfortunately, the camper succumbed to rot, and Dad inherited Grampa's camper which was in better condition, so it was scrapped. Not long after I bought this from Dad, proceeded to cut the dash for that new Pioneer faceless deck that I just "had to have". Drove her for about 6 years, during which i married and had two kids, lost interest in the truck and sold her. Fastforward 10 years, i bought her back from the guy I sold her to (I think he was sick of me bugging him). Currently she's in the garage waiting for her drivetrain to be pulled and rebuilt.

Oh yeah, and it aint really MY truck, it's my dogs. Just ask her, she'll tell ya.

Re: CUSTOM CAMPERS lets see them!
 

Now THAT'S a good looking cattle dog. Mine thought all my trucks were his too. He'd get so excited to jump in and go for a ride, ha. Your TRUCK is awesome too, very nice. Thanks for posting it.

Re: CUSTOM CAMPERS lets see them!
 

Thanks man. She has been an unbelievable friend for the last 12 years. Dude, I can't START that truck without her tearing up the house or yard to get to it. Took her for a ride in my Sentra as the 67 is down, you'd have thought I'd kicked her by the looks I was getting!

The 305 (they definitely have their place, no 350, but not terrible) my Dad replaced long ago. Currently pulling the 350/th400 combo out to freshen the engine, then thinking 4 sp auto. Buddy gave me a 200 4r, so what the heck right?

Re: CUSTOM CAMPERS lets see them!
 

Thanks, AG. I thought the same thing about the lack of gauges myself. I posted it on the Highlander thread back on 1-27-2017 (post # 908) right after I got it home. However I will update the thread with some of my newer pictures soon. The bed is in great shape, but the cab has issues from sitting out for so long. Rust around the drip edge, rockers, cab corners, floor supports, doors, etc., etc. Still a pretty solid truck if that makes any sense.

Re: CUSTOM CAMPERS lets see them!
 

Wow Tim, this is really a nice truck!! Didn’t know you had this one. A c30 longhorn is rare.

Best, Alex

Re: CUSTOM CAMPERS lets see them!
 

This is my 71 custom camper 20. It was well used when I bought it in '96 and I drove it daily until 2011 when I decided to fix her up. Body work is done, everything has been sandblasted, all rust repaired, frame powdercoated etc...just need money for paint.

Re: CUSTOM CAMPERS lets see them!
 

ttt!

with yet two more Custom Campers I WISH I'd bought... :dohh:
1st was quite nice - 68 C20 Custom Camper big block - but it was way far away. Hope someone on here nabbed it, I really liked it.
2nd was an even more loaded 68 C20 CST Custom Camper big block with buddies and the works. I still don't know why I didn't buy it - it and ol yeller were both reasonably priced.
Lastly, a motivational Chevy Camper Magazine ad pic from 72 (even though it's not technically a Custom Camper :)).

Re: CUSTOM CAMPERS lets see them!
 

That's perfect! Ha. Never have seen that before Pete, thanks. And thanks for bringing this back to the top... I'm still a-searchin for another cc, ha. Should've never sold my 72! Duh.

Re: CUSTOM CAMPERS lets see them!
 

Adding a few more for posterity... (hopefully no reposts in here :))

Re: CUSTOM CAMPERS lets see them!
 

Excellent thread

Re: CUSTOM CAMPERS lets see them!
 

I bet that gets attention there. Not a whole lot of chevys running around.

Re: CUSTOM CAMPERS lets see them!
 

I never uploaded a picture of my truck. I have to put the emblems back on the side one day.

Re: CUSTOM CAMPERS lets see them!
 

1/2 a custom camper.

Re: CUSTOM CAMPERS lets see them!
 

The only photo I could find of it on short notice. My then snow bound 72 Chinook Camper for my 71 GMC.

I'm going to have to so some serious rebuilding on it before I use it though.

Re: CUSTOM CAMPERS lets see them!
 

A new gas oven for the Camper. Next a fridge!

Re: CUSTOM CAMPERS lets see them!
 

Maybe O'Betsy (#294) has the same mirrors I'm looking for. (on my truck just the brackets remaining.
I would like to have some measurement (between screws and between brackets) and information about this brackets/mirrors. Detailled pictures highly appreciated, see also:

Who can help out with?

Re: CUSTOM CAMPERS lets see them!
 

Does somebody has still contact to Tims-1968camper or knows where the truck (#294) is today. Would like to have some detailed pictures of the camper mirrors?

Re: CUSTOM CAMPERS lets see them!
 

Here is our 72 K20 Cheyenne Super Custom Camper.

Re: CUSTOM CAMPERS lets see them!
 

Any new additions?

I bought this 1968 C20 Custom Camper 50th about 4 months ago. She not much to look at as she has been lowered. Future plans are raise her back up to stock height and add some larger tires, after that put some miles on it.

Factory equipt with 327 and manual 4 speed with heavy duty leaf sprung rear end. 327 is gone and a 1972 350 resides in its place.

Re: CUSTOM CAMPERS lets see them!
 

I had saved these off of previous craigslist ad.

Re: CUSTOM CAMPERS lets see them!
 

Been doing work on mine past 2 years also research on the truck couldnt find a paint number on the truck spid just shows the complex two tone found out it's a Husky edition . The Husky edition was a single Dealer promo truck as far as I can assertain several hundred were made. Truck was ordered from university chevrolet Seattle washington late 1971 Truck was painted placer gold GM car color from the factory .

Re: CUSTOM CAMPERS lets see them!
 

Interesting about the Husky edition. Would like to learn more. Here’s a decal from a 72 Suburban indicating that GM began offering a “Trailering Special” package that I’d like to learn more about as well.

Re: CUSTOM CAMPERS lets see them!
 

50th truck too. Nice truck

Re: CUSTOM CAMPERS lets see them!
 

I'd love to learn a little more on this one too Pete - have never seen any Trailering Special references in the 67-72 era. In the square years, it was RPO Z82. Z83 was the Deluxe Camper Special, another new thing is square years, which added a few goodies on top of the Basic Camper Special package of Z81, that did exist in our era as everyone is familiar with. But the graphic sure looks original in that pic. Wonder if it started as a dealer thing that grew into an RPO in the square era..

Re: CUSTOM CAMPERS lets see them!
 

Wow I had no idea. Special gold paint and husky edition. That’s pretty special!

Re: CUSTOM CAMPERS lets see them!
 

I dug briefly and unsuccessfully for any GM information re this package for the 72 model year. It seems that by 73 there was an organized Trailering Special package that could be had with emblems to boot. The decal here looked applied to original paint and use of the bowtie implies a GM sanctioned product I’d think. I’ll keep my ear to the ground for any related info.

Re: CUSTOM CAMPERS lets see them!
 

One could buy cars with a towing package. Two things I recall were a larger radiator and lower rear gears. I didn't pay much attention to the trucks in those days ('70-'72).

Re: CUSTOM CAMPERS lets see them!
 

Sure glad you had the build sheet for documentation, otherwise you would have the nay sayers chime in. Yes, there were always some dealer promotions available during these years (certain colors with certain options) but very hard to document these special builds with standard GM literature. GMC had a special promotion.http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...=gmc+contender

Re: CUSTOM CAMPERS lets see them!
 

Had to go back through the thread to see if I had posted yet. There sure are a lot of awesome trucks in here! She's a little rough, 72 Cheyenne Super Custom Camper

Re: CUSTOM CAMPERS lets see them!
 

If this is for me ya its lucky I have it. CG turned me on to the Husky trucks remembered seeing them on the west coast years ago.

Re: CUSTOM CAMPERS lets see them!
 

Hi all, I was wondering if anybody could identify this slide-in camper we had when I was a boy. My dad used to take us everywhere in it.

The truck was a red 1968. I'm guessing the slide-in camper came with it as the color schemes match.

Our slide-in camper looks a lot like the Winnebago's from that period, I've attached a couple pictures I found online from 1969.

Re: CUSTOM CAMPERS lets see them!
 

"72 Cheyenne Super Custom Camper" that's a mouth full there! What's the SPID on this gal? That would be a cool truck to have!

Re: CUSTOM CAMPERS lets see them!
 

Here ya go

Re: CUSTOM CAMPERS lets see them!
 

Nice truck would like to see more pics of it

Re: CUSTOM CAMPERS lets see them!
 

:lol: I used to feel that way describing the K/20 Cheyenne Super Custom Camper I had. Then I added a Custom Deluxe Highlander Custom Camper to my collection. Life is more simple now with the Sierra Custom Camper now :cool:
