Any other Custom Campers out there?

cg285 · 11-18-2013, 03:44 PM

what do you consider a "custom camper"?
i have a 65 with a pullman camper (made by downey sheet metal co, downey california) that's been on it since new

sodly · 11-18-2013, 11:18 PM

Custom Camper refers to an option package on 1966 (and some 1965) C20s. They have a unique Custom Camper badge on the fender in place of the C20 emblem. See below.

tmills213 · 12-30-2013, 03:00 PM

Mine is a littler older. 64 I picked up from family members who used it for a long time. I removed the camper when I picked it up. I have recently removed the 292 and manual trans. (I slightly regret this decision) and replaced a 383 th350. after that I have had to replace the trailing arms that snapped on me and thats it as of now. I am thinking of a porterbuilt setup for a nice ride. one thing at a time I suppose.

tmills213 · 12-30-2013, 03:06 PM

If you are refering to the emblem, look in post #4.

Here's mine:

sodly · 12-30-2013, 03:11 PM

Hi, tmills. Unfortunately, what you have there is not a Custom Camper. It was only an option in 65 and 66.

TJ's Chevy · 12-30-2013, 06:36 PM

Sodly,
Are those fairly hard to find? Just wondering. Thinking of a future project.

sodly · 12-30-2013, 11:18 PM

I think the number I've heard thrown around (correct me here, Yelmer) is about 9000 Custom Campers out of half a million Chevy pickups produced. Something like that. Maybe Yelmer will chime in on this.

oakstcustomz · 12-31-2013, 01:34 AM

This emblem came off a 67 3/4 ton that was rolled.....lots of great parts I wish
I would have kept but sold too cheap like the buddy buckets

**yelmer** · 12-31-2013, 09:53 AM

production numbers for the custom camper option is 1966 -9144 units 1965 is 1529 units this was a half year production . since it was a mid year option in 65

**yelmer** · 12-31-2013, 09:55 AM

1965 custom camper started in April of 65 production

Dillon Rock · 01-05-2014, 02:41 AM

Hey, found this ad on my local CL and it looks to be made for our style trucks, figured I'd share the ad and see if y'all know anything about this style.

oem4me · 01-05-2014, 03:18 AM

I'd love to find one of those for our '66 CC. Just missed a clean local one a few days ago for cheap. Dang!
I'm brand new to the camper/RV scene, but I think Alaskan Campers both new and old have a pretty good following.

1963c-10 · 03-05-2014, 02:30 PM

Some custom camper literature I came across

This is camper literature, for sure, but not CUSTOM Camper literature. Any new Custom Camper additions out there?

1963c-10 · 05-20-2015, 09:18 AM

Heres an interesting one I came across online.....I don't have any info on it, but one heck of a camper....er motor home?

Layne · 05-20-2015, 09:56 AM

Is there a club for '67-'68 custom campers?

Probably should ask on the 67-72 forum. I don't know. I doubt it, though.

Layne · 05-21-2015, 07:30 AM

Oops. Saw the link started with 67-72.
Duh, that's the website. LOL

**clemdaddy** · 05-21-2015, 07:48 AM

**yelmer** · 05-21-2015, 04:27 PM
