1972 Chevy Open Road camper

[bitner1970]

I just recently finished this one for a change of pace from commercial trucks. It's the reissue Camper out of the Racers Wedge/Open Road Camper twin pack by AMT. The truck is AMT's 1972 Chevy pickup. both went together very well, with the adding of dual rear wheels the only real change. Everything else is pretty much out of the box. I did make most of the decals, and add a CB antenna. The truck was painted with Tamiya French blue over white. It was fun and I look forward to doing another but with a different year of pickup.

Man!! Looks great!! After your inspiration, maybe I'll blow the dust off mine & finally build it .

looks cool! that one would be good on a 70s 2wd f 350 kit, or a stretched lil red express.

I'm building one with the 60's style cab. 1960 amt or '64-'65 revell kit. Have not decided which year yet.

Thanks guys:

Justin the interior is box stock. It's a great kit. Bandit, I think I may have had a little bit of an issue with it. Mine wasn't the "rides" edition though. I love that style of those pickups!

Cheers:
