Nice looking Longhorn there. Kind of funny how the cap had to be extended.

What exactly are you interested in seeing? I have 18 different pictures at 3072 x 2304, that adv. about 1.5MB each. For example the horn button is life size in the cluster shots. The provided picture is like 15% original. These are a bit much to post. I could cut down some more angles but it just dosen't give you same effect.

Yep! the original factory saddle color, shes' a little faded with patina showing showing her age. In time I'll give her a new color but for now I need to replace the inner cab roof panel due extensive rust above the windshield.

Here is my '68. Brought it home in the fall of 2009. Drove it to Lowe's Sunday and bought gutter parts!

Very period looking truck jim zag! Very common during the late 60's thru 70's to run large 12-16.5's just on rear only for a more stable camper ride and higher weight hauling capacity.

Just picked this one up today.

Here's what I know so far:

68 GMC, odo shows 90,000 miles. runs very smooth and quiet. Got it from the orig owners daughter who inherited it 18 years ago. My favorite part is the original Big Block 396 (XH engine suffix code) that she says has never been out of the truck. The glovebox sticker is painted over, but there were remnants of the build sheet stuck behind the seat that showed the following options. Not a full list but all I can remember as I'm typing...

turbo 400, power steering and brakes, stabilizer bar, roof lights, posi or 'pwr- lock RR' eaton axle, Z81 camper equip, Z84 custom sport truck. it does have a small amount of rust on the passenger rocker to floor junction, but otherwise pretty good for a CA truck. Not sure why they painted it green, but it doesn't look too horrible for now.

To say I'm happy would be an understatement...:ito:

Very sharp Custom Camper 72GMCSGCC, it looks just like it did in '72. Great color combo.Those original black center GMC hubcaps are super rare. Has a nice heavy duty stance that tells the world it can haul some serious weight safely.

72GMCSGCC 11-08-2011 02:37 PM

Re: CUSTOM CAMPERS lets see them!
 
Thanks factorystock. It's pretty original for the most part, except for the Montgomery Ward A/C (that I plan on removing), and the radio. (I have the original radio though..)

Actualy that plug is the RPO UY1 Camper Wiring Harness, shown here in a picture of mine (to good effect if not clarity) on an Alaskan pop up camper. The full picture is at post #91.

Re: CUSTOM CAMPERS lets see them!
 
so if a cab has this then that means the truck had a camper..... this is the factory wiring? so it can be a good asumption that the cab would belong to a custom camper.... even though you could get the camper wiring without the custom camper package.

Well the only real answer would be probably. But yes it is factory and on the SPID. If the truck had been special ordered then its very likely. A lot truck might not have ever carried a camper it's whole life. Most campers went on new trucks in this time period. But many, if not most, buyers pick something off the lot that is "close enough" to what they wanted and usually there is a helpful salesman right there to close the sale. The Custom Camper is just a nameplate option that had required RPO numbers. These generally reflected the minimum recommended chassis equipment for that truck model and not every possible camper related option. The UY1 Camper Wiring was not required. After all few trucks are seen wtih the U98 Junction Block and even the TP2 Aux Battery is rare. Here are two pages from the '69 data book. Required C30 Custom Camper Nameplate options and Camper Recommendations.

^^^According to post #114 it looks like your SPID has all the options except for the nameplate itself. Nice Longhorn!

Welcome to the Board Michael!

I looked at your PDIF and the way it looks you do have one just like Sicklajoie said.
