He probably posted a link for a picture and it is being blocked.

Yep that was it

I'm still confused

How did you figure that out, and find that link? I get a picture or link being blocked, but I have to type at least three digits or a reply won't post

I clicked edit and it showed me he tried to post an image link. I copied link to another window and it came up. So I figured that site doesn't allow image linking, so I just copied link instead of adding it into software code.

Ok, now I know. But in all my time on this site I have never seen a blank post.

Why did Alaskan make a 10 ft. camper? Would be too long for a Longhorn as well.

**dave6672** · 04-25-2023, 10:32 AM

I see in this ad where they also made a 12 ft. version.

MS66 · 09-25-2023, 09:04 AM

Cool thread. Looking for topper now. Gonna be nice!

**dave6672** · 12-13-2023, 09:36 PM

Vintage cap for a Longhorn. It would be hard to find another.

My 86 in 92.
I only had in on the truck when we would camp at the Winston Cup races at Loudon, NH in the 90's. Throw an air mattress back there and voila, instant camper.

Alaskan likes to see utility bodies used and heavier trucks. They even offer a package with utility body. Also, most slide-in campers have a 10' floor leaving 2' overhang. I always wondered what good did adding 6" to make a Longhorn did. Never seen a camper made 6" longer for those, only toppers.

I have a '91 Alaskan 8' cab-over. I'll post pics when it's back on the truck.

Thanks!
It was a nice truck except for the fact it had an absolute gutless 305 in it, and it went through multiple fuel pumps, to the point that I wound up running an electric fuel pump on the fender well.
I got rid of it in 1999 with 247K miles. Actually I donated it, there was nothing left to the body, and the engine was shot.
After that I bought my first (and to this day only) brand new vehicle - a refrigerator white 99 C2500.

here's my truck just it was coming out from a building in Idaho after it's 25 snooze.
