**1966 Open Road Slide-In Camper...New Project For The C1300 4x4

[RonS]

Since I bought this truck I had all intentions on buying a pull behind camper or slide-in. Well, I found a nice slide-in yesterday. With the deal done I loaded it up and scooted down the road.

It's a 1966 Open Road from Redondo Beach, California. It is really cool with some neat accessories. It has a propane gas light inside, an intercom between the cab and camper, a stove that's never been used, shower/toilet/sink. I also have the original keys and literature and miscellaneous items dating back to '66.

It needs a few structural things addressed and the roof needs sealed. Other than that I am pretty excited. This will be a long term project that I will continue to update as I progress.

Just to let you guys know, the Cadillac engine moves this 2000lb bohemoth down the road effortlessly.

Yea it fits right in and the pictures look like something out of my grandparents photo albums. There is nothing in them really to get an idea of the date.
