Nice 66 camper on CL...
 

...Sorry, didn’t see the Craigslist thread above...

Just sharing, I inquired about it and my lovely wife said you sold yours awhile back, no more campers :lol:

Agree, that is a nice one and I'd love to bring it home but just not in the cards at the moment. Here are some additional pics. Engine appears to still have original paint. I bet this thing is a time capsule. Not a fan of personal hood ornaments... argh. Nothin like a big ol screw hole front and center in a sea of finely aged old original paint. But I could learn to live with it or fix it.

Another interesting tidbit.. I inquired about what appeared to be the "2nd" shifter boot behind the 4-speed. Seller stated it was the parking brake, and sure enough - the under-column one isn't there. Is this a C-30 thing or a Class C thing - anyone know?

and here are a couple of the interior, most of them too close up to be useful, but still. 9K fair price for this rig, could probably get it for a little less (maybe). Wish I had the time to run and grab it (and a place to stuff it for awhile)... but some other day :) (side note... I don't think I want anyone's old dishes, period correct or not. And I'm guessing Ms. Butterworth is a little crusty by now). BUT, the wood condition looks great. Again, think this is a nice find. (I do not know the seller :), just personal opinion)

OOPS! I saw this in both places and thought I was posting in the CL ad thread. :)

Re: Nice 66 camper on CL...
 

I would really, REALLY like to see a "Campers" thread in the pinned threads. Campers and vintage camper shells.

Thanks for taking the time to post these! I really enjoyed looking through them.
(and on a side note, some of those plastic bowls were margarine containers from the '70s, that came in several colors--they were marketed as "free bowls" to wives. We had several black ones that got used every Burrito Night, and I've still got the red one I always ate my cereal out of... still the only bowl I use for cereal all these years later!)

Well that was over an hour down the rabbit hole!!
THANKS!!! I dunno what it is, but I just can't get enough of these vintage campers/toppers.

What a killer little truck!!!!!!

Re: the floor brake. That should be the parking brake that is a drum on the back of the trans.

Re: Nice 66 camper on CL...
 

Thx Jay, I was wondering if the 30s or class c's got that type of brake. I can't imagine parts for that would be easy to find...

Re: Nice 66 camper on CL...
 

I think the park brake on the trans was just an option with the 4 spd. My 64 C20 had that brake and so does my 65 C30 stake bed.

LOVE that camper!!:chevy: So VERY glad it's too far away!:jest:

"Camper section has new screws and has been re caulked and aluminum polished.”

Oh dear... "re-caulked"???? Caulking has no place on a camper. I do hope he means the putty tape was replaced. He's put a deal of work into it if that's the case.

Doesn't matter anyway. I certainly don't have that much money lying around.;)

Got it, thank you!
