It`s a Custom Camper,man.
 

:lol: What is it with all these people calling Custom Campers Camper Specials?If your name was Paul would you want people calling you Fred?It`s kinda funny and doesn`t bother me that much.I`ve had people say "up" but I knew they meant "down" before,too.It`s about not letting history take a bum steer when I correct people.GM called their trucks Camper Specials through`72.I like the name,that`s what they are,there are Camper Campers and these ain`t them,and I just believe a name is for ID...so call it what it is.It`s like saying you have a Cheyenne Deluxe,a Super Grande,a CSP (Custom Sport Pickup),a Custom Super...you get what I`m sayin`?Not meaning to come off as a jerk,but I`m into these trucks and I like to see info kept straight,that`s all.;)

Re: It`s a Custom Camper,man.

Re: It`s a Custom Camper,man.
 

Oh man, so where does the camper cruiser fall into this mess?????



Sorry tim, i just had to...

Re: It`s a Custom Camper,man.
 

Always bugged me too.........and my name is Paul and I've never been called Fred, but a lot of other things! :lol:

Re: It`s a Custom Camper,man.
 

A peeve of mine too. I always despised people calling anything 4wd w/o a bed a Jeep too.

Re: It`s a Custom Camper,man.
 

:sumo:Just because is lowered and it has rims does not make it a restomod or protouring

Re: It`s a Custom Camper,man.
 

So other good points here.Hey Andy,I have a`70 Chevy Ranger XLT.:lol:
Ok Eric,It`s Super Custom Camper Cruiser to you!Only`67 and only GMC.They are Custom and they are special,but they ain`t no Custom Cruiser or Camper Special.
I also have a Super Cheyenne.Ooop! I let out another peeve fart.Does anyone have a TTCS?It`s a Truck That`s Custom Sport.They built them for the future when Pro-touring kicked in.:lol:
I guess none of this is as bad as guys calling my GMC a Chevy.Hey,I like Chevys and own some,too,as in for many decades.But,a GMC is a GMC and a Chevy is a Chevy,right?That`s like seeing a GTO and saying,"Nice SS".My dad always drove Cadillac El Devilles.So,I know a thing or two,you see?

Re: It`s a Custom Camper,man.
 

The guy I bought my parts bed from told me the truck was a Custom Comfort and Convenience Custom Camper Special Super :lol:

Sorry to go off subject but I had a girl call my Camaro a Trans-am the other day.

Re: It`s a Custom Camper,man.
 

Not even every Firebird is a Trans-Am.....

Re: It`s a Custom Camper,man.
 

Its probably Chevy's fault for changing the name of the package in '73.

Re: It`s a Custom Camper,man.
 

In the Chevy parts catalog I use at work for these old trucks has the camper rpo listed as Camper Special, that's where I got it at.

Re: It`s a Custom Camper,man.
 

Yeah, there will always be people that don't know jack about cars/trucks. I was at the gas station last week and had a guy walk up and say "I like your truck, a 64 right?" I politely replied it was a 72 and talked to him for a few, nice guy.

Camper special, custom camper, Super special grande cheyenne custom camper go surf and get drunk mobile all works for me :lol:

Re: It`s a Custom Camper,man.
 

I'm confused by this part of your post, wasn't it ford that called them camper specials through '72 (like longhornman said)? I've loved these trucks for a long time and I've had mine for 10+ years and I thought up until you guys corrected me about a year ago it was a camper special.

Re: It`s a Custom Camper,man.
 

I thought I edited that to correct when I proof read (which I usually don`t do).It`s edited now,I had a few.Ford kept on calling them Camper Specials after`72,also.
I`ve had my Blazers called Broncos.I`m a kindhearted man and they are all still walking without a limp as far as I know.:lol: I started using K/5 rather than Blazer unless being specific.Noting like a GM man calling a Jimmy a Blazer.Names just matter to me.They are for the purpose of I.D. and it ain`t no I.D. if it it`s naming something else.It`s like calling a tire a wheel.Today is Sunday,not Monday,Tuesday,Wednesday,Thursday,Friday,or Saturday...just Sunday.If you say Sunday we all know what day you`re talking about.One day this week works fine if being specific doesn`t matter.Just like saying your truck has the camper package.That`s just what it is,whether GM,Dodge,Ford,IH,or whatever.

Re: It`s a Custom Camper,man.
 

Names of things have always bugged me too. Many people use the word "Jeep" to discribe a 4 wheel drive w/o a pick-up bed. Blazer/Bronco/Land Cruiser/etc

I usually junk blow it off as a non car-guy who just doesn't know any better.

Re: It`s a Custom Camper,man.
 

I have one word fer ya....."DECAF"..... LOL

Re: It`s a Custom Camper,man.

Re: It`s a Custom Camper,man.
