That is sweet. Did you get a pic of the spid? I'm curious if that's the same paint as my GMC.

Yeah, those are really rare. In the early-80s I had a loaded '69 K/10 CST Custom Camper. I wish I still had it, but I sold it to get a K/20 because I'm an 8-lug kinda guy. I'm not sure I've ever seen another K/10 Custom Camper

That's the tire I ended up with. They seem a little squirrelly, I get a little over-steer, now. Probably just a too much mold release. I'll give it some time. I may put a rear sway bar on it.

Hey guys, thought I would throw a couple shots on my "mistress" in the mix. Not sure if it is a Custom Camper or just a Longhorn as the glove box and other id plates are gone, just the door jam one is left and I bought her as just a rolling cab. Still a long way to go to get her all done, but the 5.3L LS is in and the body and interior are slowly coming together.

This needs to come back to the top! It's been awhile - show your custom campers! Or even someone else's if we haven't seen it here lately.

Re: CUSTOM CAMPERS lets see them!
 
(robs71) That's a nice looking 68 C20 you got there. i love the 67/68 front ends. my 72is only a C10. when I purchased it,I didn't think I would need anything bigger than it, buy I have realized quickly, using mine as a everyday light work truck/Daily Driver that I should've been looking for a 8 lugger, lol. Question?; what's the numbers at the bottom front quarter of the bed, are they DOT numbers?

robs71 08-08-2016 06:31 AM

Re: CUSTOM CAMPERS lets see them!
 
numbers on bed..i put the 7500 on for the local quarry scale.I do not take it over 7500 pounds when hauling stone or sand.This way when I am being loaded the operator can quit loading before having me overloaded....could haul more but do not like to push it...

cherokeejohn 08-08-2016 06:56 AM

Re: CUSTOM CAMPERS lets see them!
 
gotcha!, good thinking. Damn!, you haul 7500 lbs in that truck, yeah, now I really gotta gets me a 8 lugger. Your up the road from me not too far, I've been up there working several years back when I worked for the Railroad. We were on a contract job for Conrail, Before they too got Swallowed up by the Mighty CSX, lol. I'm about 20miles south of Hanover, PA, Adams N York counties

Welcome Tim, that's a great looking rig - would love to see more pics, especially of the inside. Any more details on the truck? C30 I assume - big block?? Do tell. Thanks for sharing. And welcome from a former Ridgecrest resident! Still miss the high desert, I have to admit. Just not the sandblast winds.
