Bad timing as usual, but I had to have this one. Original paint, one owner, has a couple dings and needs interior but very little rust and very original. v8/auto, ps, tint, otherwise base model. And it's one of my favorite colors, 1970 501 medium blue. Trailered it home today...

Kinda like finding a stray animal. You just gotta save them.

My wife is an animal lover. I’m going to use that line on her next time I bring a truck home

Wow that’s a nice one.

CG · 06-15-2021, 05:29 PM

I have zero doubts that you are going to make this a happy truck.

**68 C10 Driver** · 06-15-2021, 05:40 PM

68bowtie, do you plan on restoring the camper shell?

**Chevyland** · 06-15-2021, 08:51 PM

Very cool
Looks like the v8 was added ?

Have you determined if there is enough blue paint
under all the oxidation for a good buffing ?

Does it run ?

Tags say 2017, no back fees , non op ?

Nice find !
Sometimes they still happen to be holed up
In someone’s backyard

Honestly I don't know much about camper shells. Is this worth restoring??

Anyone know anything about this camper shell? I can’t seem to find any info on it. It has “Hehr” stickers in the back glass but I think those may be the window supplier?

**Chevyland** · 06-19-2021, 11:05 PM

It’s hard to tell
There were so many camper / trailer makers
In Southern California back in this era

I’d definitely keep it if it’s not to far gone

One thing that stands out to me is the overhang
Above the back doors

I looked around a bit

Open Road
And
