Question on your slots. It appears that the lug holes have a ridge around them, meaning the lugs sit in a little. I have a set like this also. I was wondering what type of lug do they take?

Thanks,
Ray
I bought a pair of NOS doors off craigslist about 3 hours away and got to talking with the owner. I also bought an NOS gmc gate from him. He asked if i had ever seen one before and i assumed it was a slide in type. I went to his place about 20 miles away and that was when i posted the first pics a few years back. It was not for sale at that time. Fast forward about 1/2 year, out of the blue, the guy needed money for something else he was doing and it was mine. I have put less than 10 miles on it since i have had it and the po but about 20 on it in the 20 years he had it.
I will try to look at the slot lug nuts.

There is a stove and sink laying in there, but not sure if they are correct for it.

Looks like a cool set up regardless. Does the camper "top" replace the factory "Jimmy" top?
Yes, it replaces the jimmy top. It is bolted in place and uses a couple of the original mounting spots up front.

Appears to have had a re-paint at some point. It will need some paint and floor rust repaired at some point now.
