75 C20 Crew Cab Camper Special

I got to researching it, and this truck has the Camper Special Deluxe package. So in addition to the big block and TH400, it had all the factory hardpoints put on it for slide-in campers. So it has a threaded boss on the b-pillar, and four anchors for the camper turnbuckles that tie directly to the frame. Which is cool, but it also has little struts mounted inside the bed that tie the bed to the cab so everything is tighter under load. This is the only time I have ever seen one of these. You can see it in the third picture right under the rail.

So after buying it at the auction, I had to go grab my brother's trailer to haul it home. I thought about driving it, but the tires were horrible and so were the brakes, and who knows what else.
Here is probably the coolest picture I have ever taken, 2014 D'max hauling 3 tons of classic RV. Oh the camper was awesome too, it is a Red Dale, made in CO, with all actual wood cabinets and avocado interior. So awesome.

So I got it home, changed all the fluids, new plugs, wires, distributor, some fresh fuel and she fired right up. Adjusted the timing just a little and she runs great. I pulled the camper off and drove it around. I tell you GM knew what they were doing on the 2WD trucks. It rides like you are on a cloud.

Great looking truck, love the color. As you may know, the first year for a k30 was 77 and the 454 was no available on a k30 until 81. Does this truck have a FF 14 bolt?

Matt Man: I actually didn't know that. Thanks! No this one is a 2 wheel drive. That is the only problem with it. Well that and the rust on the wheel openings

So now I don't know what to do with this truck. I think it belongs in a museum, but the GM Heritage Center won't hear of it. Here's some interior pictures. Scrolled aluminum trim, rifle scabbard in seat, total western style awesomeness. I found a sticker on it saying it was originally sold in TX
