That's a better picture of the paint

YEP, Dark Gold Poly. Another great metallic color that was available '69-'70, but disappeared from the '71 and '72 charts.

Wow, very nice, white spokes work well on this one, gives it that mid 70's nostalgic look. IMO, the stance on these GMC custom campers with leaf springs look super cool!

Orange67 · 08-26-2018, 05:32 PM

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.

**jocko** · 08-26-2018, 07:31 PM

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.

Orange67 · 08-26-2018, 07:47 PM

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?

**jocko** · 04-13-2019, 11:33 AM

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.

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.

GerhardH · 08-22-2020, 01:33 PM

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

Here is our 72 K20 Cheyenne Super Custom Camper.

lil hoodlum · 01-22-2021, 01:26 AM

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.

lil hoodlum · 01-22-2021, 02:08 AM

I had saved these off of previous craigslist ad.
