Thanks for posting. How much does it weight? A lot more than the newer models?

Factory weight dry was 1700lbs. And the water was only 20 gallons...

As pictured, minus the snow plow, loaded for two weeks with the family of 6 we weighed in at 10,800 lbs. We are now down to 5 (oldest joined the Marines) so we might be able to drop a bit off the weight for our next trip.

The C-10 model was listed at 1700 lbs but some listings said 1750 lbs and ran from 1965 to 1968 as best as we can find out. The C-11 came out in 1968 and ran till 1972 under both the Avion name and the Cayo name. They were listed as weighing 2300 lbs.

Thanks now I can see why you got a dually.

Here are a few photos of my C-10..

From the pics, I can tell it is an Early 66 or late 65 by the location of the running lights. the original 65 and early 66 had the lights down low, where the mid and later 66 C-10's all the way up had the running light one on the cab over and one at the same height at the back.

Here is a few reference pics from mine...

Are you going to do anything with the exterior or, are you going with the 'Rat Rod' look?

I think it's kind of cool in the pics. :C

I'll bet it was a trick getting it on that dually, two jacks on the right side and one on the left?

No actually the PO had 4" extension blocks that the front jacks bolt to.
it was tricky..angle the front foot of the tripod out, back the tire past it,,,lower the camper on the truck..then angle the rear foot of the tripod out and you are good to go :-)
