Re: Camper special bed WTW
First of all,I recall going through this before,there is no Camper Special.There is a packeage called CustomCamper and there are even badges if ordered.But it`s a longbed truck like any other.There would be no difference in the bed.I think yours had the tool & stowage door option(which is independant of the CustomCamper pkg).Chevy made a 133"wb pickup known as the Longhorn and,to make things confusing,GMC called their`s the CustomCamper.It`s confusing since GMC also offered the same CustomCamper pkg as Chevy on regular longbeds.So you could have an 8' truck with the CustomCamper option,an 8'6" CustomCamper w/o the CustomCamper option,or an 8'6" CustomCamper with the CustomCamper pkg.,Longhornman was assuming you may have had one of those beds since that would be the only bed that would be refered to by the name of CustomCamper.These longer beds were the 3rd size truck bed.They were 6" longer(approx) than a longbed and have a verticle seam where the factory actually added the extra 6" of sheetmetal.One of these beds would be worth more than an 8" bed to a guy needing a better bed for his Longhorn/CustomCamper or a guy wanting to put a pickup bed on a short cab`n`chassis (133") truck to make a daully or whatever.
Now,the problem is that a bed is so big it pretty much has to be bought by someone close enough to pick it up.
Do you have pictures?It would really help.
