My Craigslist 71 Custom Camper Find

Hello
Just recently picked up 71 custom camper on Craigslist. Purchase truck from 85 year old gentleman who purchase truck from original owner back in 1980.



Truck has 350 motor with 4-speed floor shift and runs excellent!

I have the original stock radio will soon install. My plans are to go-through check mechanical/ suspension & related maybe new seat cover then buff-out paint and just drive it!

Will most definitely be seeking out tips & advice on forum. Will post pics on next post
