Vintage Camper 1972 Slide-in Truck Camper

[@motorhomeman1949]

I can't believe how original everything is! I love the colors and just all the cool old stuff. That truck and camper go perfectly with each other.

[@RaynaLenskiCreations]

my parents had a cabover camper nearly exactly like this! the apolstry, the flooring, color scheme, the lights - those are exactly what I remember being in ours. We moved cross country in it, there were a lot of core memories had with that camper. I hope this one went to a good home to make many more memories

[@catherinemalphurs2644]

It takes me back 2 my youth camping w/ the fam!!!!

[@toddbob55]

I grew up in early 80's My parents had early 1970's cabover campers.....it was a feeling ill never forget ....the nostalgia feeling of the interiors.....it was a different era and I miss it.

[@JohnnyButtons]

I traveled across country in a camper like this back in 1982. It was a blast!

[@FBPrepping]

It's odd, but I miss it too, and I never traveled in any camper. But there is something in those things that call strongly my attention towards them.

[@plumbingstuffinoregon2471]

That's a gorgeous old camper! I can't believe how original it is. That's like a dream right there! Awesome truck too, I have a '67 and love it.

[@abegallon338]

Great vintage set up Very Blessed Man enjoy

[@mthivier]

That avocado green stove seemed very high end (full size with four burners, eye-level oven) for a pickup truck camper. The sliding doors on the bed area are a unique feature.

[@gabrielaguilar1391]

What a great rig! I would love to have something like that!

[@valeriehopkins644]

We borrowed one for summer trip. Had a toilet and bed over cab. The dinette was under the bed over cab. Remember well because the cat snuck in and went with us. 🐈 😆

[@sonastorer-johnson7541]

They were called camper special, that truck was mad for that truck we came across a green one in the 80s.

[@campkeefer]

awesome! just like my grandfather's old truck, same color too. Thanks for sharing the video!!

[@garyvallone5393]

I traveled all around the United States in a camper just like this with my grandparents as a kid.

[@kandacepatterson7965]

Yep! 1972...uear I graduated HS..those colors lol.

[@anitablades6033]

I agree that the truck has turned over, warning the gaskets may leak don't head out far from home till you have driven it a few months. Good luck.

[@grayeagleswolves]

This is BEAUTIFUL I loved this thank you for showing it

[@foresthoe8072]

Beautiful wow it would be a dream of mine to be able to sit in one of those rare vintage time capsules lol love it ur a lucky man

[@rondawitt5891]

I get mine Saturday. Wolverine. Going to live in it. Really nice. All propane. Even lights are propane.

[@jitterysquirrel76]

Absolutely gorgeous! Thanks for posting!

[@mitchwinder1204]

That same vinyl flooring was in one of our bathrooms when I was a kid. LOL

[@biglakepress5788]

I'd definitely take the camper. You can keep the truck.

[@fredwilson9113]

What a great find. And matching set how cool is that

[@davefletch3063]

What an outstanding find

[@grayeagleswolves]

This is a Beautiful Slide in Truck camper and Truck

[@anthonynelson9136]

Judging from the wear on the brake peddle your mileage is more than 26000. Because of its age and the practices at the time this truck was young depending on how many times this truck was sold from a used car lot the mileage could have been rolled back several times. It also may be that the people that owned the truck took extremely good care of it and the odometer has rolled over.

[@Thebald1]

That thing looks cool. The older the better

[@davidgrason161]

I notice that the box of Colgate does NOT have a bar code on it. Now THAT is old! LOL

[@mattjones5175]

Yes! It is old. I should have kept it and sent it to the Smithsonian> :)

[@rat4spd]

Had that exact linoleum in my house growing up. Built in 72.

[@agentofficerthomasa.porter107]

Classic Truck Camper. Needs A Great Enjoyable Restoration! The SOUND On This KZbin Channel is so LOW as many other KZbin Channels Are Not Worth Watching. Those Channels that are good are enjoyable to Hear & Watch.

[@mattjones5175]

Thx...My sound worked perfectly fine though. My voice just isn't very chirpy.

[@oscarovalle5230]

Maravilloso vídeo, lástima que acá en Panamá no lo venden y me gustaría uno para mi hi lux

[@dewaynemiguel3349]

Because the seat im betting 128k or even 228k i had a 1976 they kept saying ooh only 78k it had 278k the odometers only went to 99.99k.big difference i bought my 1976 f250 ranger xlt loaded brand new in 1976 for 4 thousand out the door it had 14 miles on it

[@TheBandana1969]

In such old campers the inner wood panelling and insulation in between the outer and inner layers of the walls gets ri

[@mattjones5175]

Hmmm. I'll have to get video #2 up without the camper. Looks great. The bed looks perfectly new, no dents, paint was well protected, no rust.

[@Thebald1]

I just bought a 1968 model and it looks the same... I paid $525.00 for it..

[@shilohgardner]

Very nice!

[@alcoholic2412]

Nice camper I'd keep it. I think that's an ice box not a fridge.

[@kevinnorris1434]

Love it ☺️

[@mattjones5175]

Come check out the truck before you make that judgment. I'll try to get a video of it driving. It drives pretty well, even though it still has those bias ply tires on it...do they still sell bias-ply truck tires?

[@richardburke3004]

Matt Jones they do not sell bias tires any more. Or at least they shouldnt be bought. Nice set up. Id own it.

[@davidcoats2897]

yes they do, Coker Classic bias ply tires. Mostly for classic vehicles to maintain their classicness

[@SurviventheOnslaught]

you can still buy bias ply tires, they grab changes in pavement level when you switch lanes

[@joejassydowningeorgia]

I just saw this Dec 29 2019. Just wondering did you ever sell it?

[@mattjones5175]

YES. SOLD for $10,500 + $1000 camper

[@troyboy5533]

shame on him for selling such a rare piece of history.

[@donkeyhurley5290]

Do you know the weight of the camper by itself, dry? TY

[@mattjones5175]

Sorry, man. I have no clue. :(

[@larrysnyder3475]

Very nice

[@abseconPC]

I don't see a c on the roof how do you keep it cool if you're in the middle of the desert are in Florida in the summer

[@OOICU812]

You don't. 😁

[@JoseLopez-tb5mk]

Is this camper still available or in very least do you remember who u sold it to.

[@RippSnortin]

That brake pedal pad has a lot more than 26K miles on it.

[@mattjones5175]

Ahh, the gas pedal trick. That's a sure, tell-tale sign of 100,000 miles. Kinda like a 100,000 mile warranty on a rubber tire or maybe like a tire with a 50,000 mile warranty. Well, how many miles do you think it has on it? 126,000? I think there'd be a lot more evidence of wear and tear. The camper has stickers from 1973 & 1974. There are unused parts and manuals in the camper (oven & bathroom). Shifter shifts very well, like-new. The floor looks consistent with 26,000 miles. The steering wheel isn't all cracked like all of the other bumpside Fords. Have you ever seen an earlt 70's Ford F-series without a severely cracked steering wheel? Not me. What about the dealer tire warranty decal on the driver-side window! Yeah, those are usually fully intact with a 126,000 mile truck, right? But mine looks partially damaged so my truck must have 226,000 miles on it...give me a break.

[@RippSnortin]

Someone probably replaced the brake pedal with a high mileage one I guess.

[@jameswil7687]

@@mattjones5175 I have a 1962 Ford truck that my Pawpaw only put 78,000 miles on. From his wife and daughter (my mom and Mawmaw) said he drove it a bunch from 1963 till about 1967 and after that mainly used the car. In 1975 till the 80's he drove it 15 miles each way to work and then started riding a motorcycle. He parked the truck in 1992 and quit driving it due to getting a truck with a lot better MPG. The pedals look like new but the steering wheel is all cracked up due to sun exposure. I'm sure your truck has a 126,000 miles from the wear I see on the pedals. The last owner/s just took really good care of it and and the camper and may have drove long distances to go camping. But who knows for sure though.

[@FrankiesFancy]

The thing about Ford's are that they are built for looks only. They wear out fast. Just get 'em off the line. Make them pretty enough to catch the eye, give short warranty's and move on to the next sucker.

[@jameswil7687]

@@FrankiesFancy there's been some good one. The 300, 351, 302, 7.3, 6.9 all are good engines if treated right. But every vehicle line has is problems and bad times.

[@rile5960]

Most likely 126000 miles.

[@davidgrason161]

...or 226000

Nice how much Ford truck camping sale $$$$$?

[@jimmyhilton9421]

How much is it the price

[@brettduffy1992]

No a.c. how do u stay cool in summer

[@jameswil7687]

Roll the windows down and drive at 55 or 60mph. In the camper, at night you open the windows and put a couple fans up pulling air from the open windows and aim them to you. During the day, open the windows and leave a fan on. But for the year this was made, times were different than today. People were more use to it. They wasn't inside under the A/C playing on the phone or on a video game. Besides you were either swimming, walking a trail, or in the shade during the day. I was born in 1997 and for most of my life, the only A/C we experienced was at a store or at school. Never had a problem due to heat because me and my family was use to it.

[@stevemitchell2252]

71 comments and the camper is built in 1971
