Hot rod camper....sort of

Postby prohandyman » Tue Mar 30, 2021 3:47 pm

Ok for all you hot rodders out there... I’ve taken a challenge. Build a teardrop out of a old truck bed. After 33 campers built I said I was done... but never say never right? A friend has always wanted to try this, and with me having a 48 Chevy truck164673 I thought might as well. Retired and not much to do but watch the clock spin other than tv... which I hate! I have started. Sourced a 1954 GMC truck bed, a used utility trailer, already had old windows, old clearance lights, replica Boomerang countertop, etc. we are off and running...sort of.
164672 Got the bed sitting on the frame. Going to be a rear door design, white wall tires, 4x8 in size, paint match it to the ‘48... don’t have a sketch up program... or even a computer! You’ll have to read my simple mind for the idea! Pics to follow
