I think that he probably painted it when the bed was put on so I think it would probably have been pretty early on. I had the same thought about getting back down to the red paint but don't know if it would be possible. The more I look at the bed and camper I can really see that they were built for each other. He said he had the bed and camper put on so I wonder what the truck was used for before he got it

Joking of course, but either he really was trying his best to seal the thing up, or their last trip was in a cold area.
SO so cool to see all the original stuff on this truck... |
lol I was thinking the same thing! His brother said that he had it parked up north for about a week in snowy weather and the truck sank to the frame rails and he couldn't get it out... a suburban pulled up and was able to pull it out, maybe that was the time he took it out

Thank you and it really is, glad I got to meet him and get the history.
