the one that's playing possum just to be there.

neteng01 · 08-28-2012, 12:23 AM

Oh, good catch, looks like he added a power antenna to it as well. I hope someone looks at it and snaps a shot of the SPID...

Zable49 · 08-28-2012, 03:48 AM

The newest addition to the family as of today.

A 4wd 3/4 ton Super Cheyenne Custom Camper with SWEET Slot mags!

Dear lord that is a good looking truck. I may have to break originality on my K20 and go with that blue (wonder what its called) instead of the medium blue. Odds are this was not originally a cheyenne super and probably built to have the best options (towhooks, super, cab lights, etc). The grille (as mentioned) rear marker lights, and script badge positioning all indicate some things are not original. Awesome truck no doubt that I would be lucky to own. How much is he asking?

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.

Jud, That would be the GM code 523 Dark Blue (Ditzler 2366). The earlier 508 was used on vans but is not correct for a '71-72 pickup, unless its "Special Paint".

**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.
