Unusual Camper
 

This thing is too cool! I've never seen a frame mount be such a compact camper. I'd like to have it. It's a quirky thing!

What immediately stands out to me is that there's no pass-through from the rear window. I don't know that I've ever seen one like that.

Re: Unusual Camper
 

I have seen them like that, but not with the cab already cut for a pass through.

Looks like they just put a travel trailer body on to a truck..kinda cool

Re: Unusual Camper
 

Mmmm, I can smell that camper from here =)

Re: Unusual Camper
 

Kinda curious about the turn buckles in front of the radiator?

Re: Unusual Camper
 

The back of the cab is cut for a pass-thru, but doing so would eliminate the cook range/oven's spot, so I'd guess the current camper box is a replacement.
Good price, but with 500,000 miles on the ODO the state of the 350 [or other SBC] is a roll of the dice.
Cab corner and rocker rust is about par.

They tamp down the massive fly-away torque from the awesome 350.

^^^lol

Man that rear window area is FUNKY. Plenty O' rust too.

Fuel consumption must have been too low so they added the camper to bring it up a bit. It would work well drafting behind a tractor-trailer though.

It says the odometer has rolled over several times. Must have been a well-loved truck. It also says it's a made from scratch camper. It looks to have been pretty well done in it's day.

There's a group of people who travel the country in vintage campers and homemade campers. They meet here and there. I can't recall what they call themselves. That would be a great rig for their get-togethers!

Re: Unusual Camper
 

Neat-O! Did the exhaust fall off or something?

Re: Unusual Camper
 

That would.make a great swap meet rig!

Re: Unusual Camper
 

Agreed - It has the cool factor :c2:

Hah, I wonder.
That's what I was thinking.

I had even read all the listing when I posted this. So he made that using aluminum framing. That's what I want to do, using square tube. He did a good job. Looks professional. It's different having the entry door on the side.

My camper rig didn't have a pass-thru when I bought it. I installed the slider, it never had one, removed the window on the camper, and made a frame to trim it. I bought an inflatable seal from an RV supplier. It was strange not being able to communicate between the camper and cab. The camper had the water tank across the front, so no walk-thru. Plus it was a pickup with a slide-in
