There were after-market non-GM camper-conversions (or, at least non-GM camper-like conversions or kits) that are shown in Chevrolet special equipment truck Silver Books during Advance-Design years.
Here is a GMC with a canopy-cover (and special bed) after-market option
called the "Huckster", which was an option available on at least
3/4 ton GMC from the 30s-60s.
Many people seem to also use the name "Huckster" for the Canopy Express model 3107/3817 (available to the end of the Advance-Design series). The relatively rare Canopy Express was a model not an option.
Does anyone have an RPO number for a factory-option camper or bed-cover/canopy for a Chevrolet pick-up?
Here is a factory camper option:
- 1965 Chevrolet truck RPO Z81 Camper Special package available on the C20 (3/4 ton) pickup.
- 1961 Corvair Greenbriar Sports Wagon (van) dealer installed Camper Kit (GM Part #985103). Maybe this is not a truck but it was a very fine vehicle (that leaked a lot of oil in hot climates).
Nonetheless, any original camper package on a pre-60s truck would be rare and most interesting too have. Please post photos.
