Suburban509-

That is a killer combo. I can't wait to see it all complete!

Yes, a 1965 Airstream Safari with a 1966 C10.

H7o Global · 12-28-2010, 01:02 AM

Sorry, have more but need to reduce size.

**grumpy** · 12-28-2010, 07:21 PM

Heres the pics I wanted to post weeks ago. Finally got new laptop.

Just awesome!

oem4me · 12-29-2010, 01:28 AM

Well, OK, so it's not a camper. But it is old and cool.
1965 suburban and 1958 Chris Craft Continental.

ZT2,

That is cool, you can get to your fishing hole REAL fast and run the lights and siren!

I just ran across these older pictures. The truck and trailer belong to a former business partner. He put a lot of work into restoring the trailer:

This thread has got me all fired up!!!!! All the pictures here are bad a$$!!!!! You guys are ahead of your time! I've seen more rigs like these showing up at our local shows, and they always draw a crowd. I have been toying with pulling my 1927 ford roadster behind my 65 C10 shortbox stepside. The rig will match with a 1960's theme. Thanks for warming me up on a cold snowy day

Back in the mid 50’s when I was pretty young there was a Chris Craft store in downtown San Leandro with several of these wooden masterpieces in the showroom window. I didn’t know anything about boats, but was very impressed they looked like very expensive artwork with all the polished wood and shiny fittings. The store subsequently became a hobby shop and that was the last time I ever saw a new Chris Craft until viewing restored models decades later. They really were floating works of art.

Its flashing over with rust in that pic because we drove 150 miles in a rain strom. We'd jus scuff it with scotchbrite pads to remove the flash..
The current owners DA'd it clean and cleared it.
I spent 8mos building it, and then sold it 6mos later because they were closing our plant and I was soon to be jobless..

So it looks good now and wont flash over. They did good.

glos55 · 01-17-2011, 12:27 PM

Anymore rig pictures?

mwipp · 01-17-2011, 11:38 PM

Here's an old picture of my Burb when I was a kid in the White Mountains, Arizona. Pulling a 19 1/2 ft 1960 Shasta trailer.

IndyBowtie · 11-23-2011, 05:05 PM

Hey Grumpy...remember this camper?

**Corts60** · 11-24-2011, 01:48 AM

Imperial Kustom · 11-24-2011, 04:40 AM

I am friggin' dying to get a pre-'64 trailer! Nothing big though, just about the same size as most of your guys'.

i dont have pics casuse i dont have it loaded on the truck yet but i have a cabover camper made somewhere between 68-70 to go in the bed of my 65 that i plan on taking on power tour this year not sure if the camper will make it but the truck is for sure

LT1 Burb · 11-24-2011, 11:12 AM

Not a vintage trailer and I didn't do it to long because the trailer was heeaaaavvvy. 1200 pound tongue weight was a little much for a 1/2 ton.
