He sure was mighty proud of that rig and rightly so because back in 72 those Custom Campers were considered state of the art in the camping world. Years later I worked the same trade with my dad and his friend (Dennis) and they always commented on what a good truck that was and how much power that 402 had in the high country. They always had new trucks but Dennis always said none of them were as good as that 72 Cheyenne. They took several hunting trips to Colorado in that thing and often came back home with two bull elk in that camper! My two younger brothers and I always looked forward to off loading 500 lbs of dressed elk and 10 or 12 point mounts! I wish I had some pics of us three boys dragging two dressed and caped elk out of the back of that camper! Heres a pic of another truck, same color and options without the camper.  |
That 72 K20 cc is one of my favorites - it sold a while back. What a great find it would have been!
