A camper you may never see in your lifetime
Yeah... they weren't real popular even back then.
We had truck campers back in the '60s and '70s. Those type set ups weren't common but we did see them at times.
Tags for truck campers like the picture and same type tags for a 1/2 ton and TT were used back then. Most we saw were used by new folks.
As someone pointed out these type setups could lift the trucks rear axle enough and leave the rear tires with little traction. Making a turn getting up a slight incline into the gazz station left lots of newb campers befuddled as the tires spun and not enough traction to get on up the driveway entrance hump.
