I love the old Sportsman models, but I'm open to just about anything that fits well and is or looks vintage. Anyone have ideas or examples? Photos would be great if you have them.
Thanks much,

I had an old Ford once that belonged to a carpenter at one time and it looked like he just framed up the cap and painted it white. It would also satisfy the period correct requirement. It worked well during the time I had the truck.

Of course,my AD came without a bed so I built it from scratch but it still may give you some ideas. ---Jack my camper shell | | | | | Joined: Dec 2003 Posts: 1,061 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Dec 2003 Posts: 1,061 | I have a recurring hallucination about pulling the dump box off my 52 and building a camper of some sort. The hallucination usually ends due to the icy stare from my wife.

Would hate to guess how many hours he spent polishing the airstream to get it that shiny.
Great looking setup.
