[img] http://www.stovebolt.com/gallery/images/dilly_richard_1941b.jpg[/img] Its got a neat camper shell on the back. It looks to be home made. I was wondering if anyone had any pics of a '58 Chevy Apache with an old style camper on the back. I don't care if its factory made or home made.... I'm just interested in pictures of some. I'm having a hard time finding any. My '58 has a flatbed on it, and I plan on building a camper top for the back so I can haul some equiptment in it....as well as take the truck camping. Thats why I'm looking for pics. | | | | | Joined: Jan 2004 Posts: 27 Junior Member | | Junior Member Joined: Jan 2004 Posts: 27 | P.S. pictures of other makes and models would even be appreciated as well....

Those were neat to look at.
They are a little more than what I'm planning on doing, but are really cool pictures none the less.
Are those factory jobs, or do you suppose those are homemade?

I had a homemade one on my 51 years ago but no pics.All wood and heavy.A catalytic heater and a matress made it good for deer hunting.Id go with sheet metal over a wood frame if i did it again.
