1972 Chevrolet C20 Pickup Custom Camper

1972 Chevrolet C20 Pickup Custom Camper: ONE OWNER SURVIVOR! WEST COAST TRUCK! 45K Original Miles! This truck was originally purchased new from Van Eaton Chevrolet in Eatonville, Washington in 1972. It has been with the same owner since. It was primarily used for camping and had a slide-in camper mounted in the bed. The gentleman who owned it would occasionally use it for hauling lumber for his wooden craft business. There is a very thick folder of maintenance records, including the original purchase order. The truck has always been garaged/covered and remains garaged to present day. Exterior: Original dark yellow/white is in impeccable condition for its age. Bright and shiny and all original. The are scatches, dings, small dents present, but overall looks like a 10-15 year old truck rather than a 50 year old truck. Paint in bed is mostly there but shows wear from slide-in camper being mounted/dismounted. There are mounted brackets attached to either front fender that support rods from the camper top connected to. The forward bulkhead of the bed has a slight bulge (possibly from camper) but is barely noticeable. Chrome is shiny with occasional freckling. There are no signs of paint/body repair or respray. Door jams are clean and show normal signs of wear. Rare “blue bowtie” hubcaps have minor dents but are otherwise bright, shiny and have almost all of the original paint. Undercarriage is remarkably clean and dark. It show surface rust here and there on the frame but no holes or serious issues. The exhaust pipe is probably the least attractive thing about the entire truck but is still functional. Interior: original black interior is stock OEM but carpet and insulation were replaced due to mud and sand. Knobs, pedals, shifter, and steering wheel show little signs of use and commensurate the low mileage. Original GM AM/FM radio is present but not working. All controls seem to work. Headliner is intact and does not droop down. Aftermarket intermittent wiper module installed in 1983 still works. Reserve gas tank in can is not functioning, which is just as well because it's extremely dangerous to use. I do not advise using it, even if fixed/reconnected. They're are known for exploding in serious collisions. Mechanical: Starts, stops, drives like a champ! I'm told by the family that the original 350 was rebuilt after it sat for a few years. The automatic transmission shifts smoothly. Engine compartment is very clean. There is a small hole on the drivers side front fender well. It looks like something was mounted on it and then removed. I was told that the original owner's son had the truck detailed and touched up, the motor rebuilt, new brakes, and had the interior refreshed after the truck sat for a few years It's probably the best riding and best stopping old truck I've ever driven.Tires look new!
