OK, You are killing me with this picture. Do you any other pictures of this 508 dark Blue truck? As impractical as it is here in the desert I love this color.

**jocko** · 09-15-2012, 07:47 PM

wow that IS nice! I like the white/med olive/white one also.

neteng01 · 09-25-2012, 02:22 AM

OK all you Custom Camper Folks,

I have a challenging (well, for me anyways) question. I am just about to start the cab portion of my custom camper restoration I am having a hard time identifying 4 screws in both my door jams. I have looked all over to see what kind of option they represent and have had no luck. I have not seen them in any pics I could find either. I was hoping the powers that be having much more knowledge than I could help me identify them. I need to know if I should have them welded up after the sandblast and consider them a useless PO additive, or keep them and add back whatever the heck was there..

Much appreciation in advance for the look and possible ideas. I have attached a pic to reference, there are 4 total screws, 3 shown and one additional just above the top hinge.

Thanks

Zable49 · 09-25-2012, 03:10 AM

Im not sure what those screws are for, but I know my C.C. doesn't have them. Mmmmmmmmm

SS Tim · 09-25-2012, 03:10 AM

Having made a few I'd say it was for a windshield cover. Those screws may have been for the male snap studs or just filler screws. You would snap it on place with the doors open then close the doors. Some campers used them when they were parked to reduce sun in the cab and for privacy.
Sometimes a kid would be bedded down on the front seat of the truck instead of setting up the table bed too.
No need to keep them, just weld up the holes.

i wondered the same thing.. mine has those screws as well i always wondered why???

'68 Newtricks · 03-03-2014, 10:15 AM

Not sure if this qualifies, but the coding says:
C20
Camper nameplate
HD springs f/r
Auxiliary rear spring
Custom sport package

Sicklajoie · 03-03-2014, 10:16 AM

^^^ Nice!! It's always nice to see this thread revived!

In 67-68 the Z81 Custom Camper emblem option replaced the series plate on the fenders with this emblem.

Yours were likely changed over the years to the standard 20 emblems.

I'll have to get a picture. It's weird, I have one fender with a C20 logo and the other is my camper one. Is that normal?

EDIT: it's no big deal, it's all coming off and going short bed too. Anyone need the logo?

It isnt clear here 20custom70, but were you satisfied with my answer in post #199 http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...&postcount=199 or are you seeking more?

For thoses who are lost by the question here a link to #197 http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...&postcount=197 with the OP's picture.

While I still think these were for a windshield cover, there is the possibility they could have been for air deflectors too. They were kind of a spoiler in front of the vent window full of holes to cut down noise while driving with the windows open.

**thelonerife** · 10-18-2012, 10:33 PM

I got this one a couple weeks ago. I wanted to find some sport mirrors but after looking at this thread and all the cc's I feel like I should keep the big mirrors maybe. Mine was supposed to have the stainless ones. I think someone switched them at some point.

**jocko** · 10-19-2012, 12:02 AM

nice lookin truck!

whoryou1979 · 10-19-2012, 12:49 AM

Love these trucks. Took me a while to find one, but grabbed it up when I did.

alsriv2 · 10-19-2012, 04:59 PM

Here are some pics of my '69 GMC. Bought it up in Nebraska 7 years ago and drove it home to Maryland.

Cool to see the last few with painted mirrors

I like the white with green interior.

**Dieselwrencher** · 10-19-2012, 08:35 PM
