73 GMC truck and 72 camper

Setup in the trailer, so far. Didn't have much time to work on it, been working on the small stuff and just bought the battery Sunday. Got the trailer Saturday. $350 for the trailer, about $45 for gas, but sold some Jeep wheels for $40 to a guy as spares for his Ranger who was in that area. The Trojan T105 batteries were dead and leaking, replaced them with some O'Reilly deep cycle battery for $90. The little S10 can barely pull it, yet I can push it in the slanted driveway with my hand. Possibly painting camo, want to cover bed. Going to mount stereo and speakers, just not sure on full setup. I'm thinking of having speakers that I can hook up outside and just plug in with spring clips. Sounds really good, aside from the rattling. I might put some foglights on the outside if I pitch a tent. Thought about doing a light bar as a redneck joke, "If you have a light bar on your trailer, youuuu might be a redneck!" I have an extra CB and antenna, but that's going a little far. Oh, wait, I have those dual antennas! Hehehe.

mount the chest freezer on the front as well for placing the venison and elk meat while hunting. Looks like a nice little hunting trailer. (That is how I see it) Two week stints and then move out! lol

Have the S10, so I can't tow much with it. Haven't done any hunting yet. This might be good when hunting with my uncle using his Duramax. His camping trailer is over 30'. I think I'll have to watch out for the hills when I camp. I was going 45 in a 75 up large hills on the way back.
The camper sold already from the guy that had it. This is funny, here's the truck now too! I'm kinda glad I didn't keep it now.

Ah man, i love that body style truck, my dad has a 73 Chevy pick up, camper special, A/C, 454 big block. It was the Cadillac of trucks in its day. He has owned it longer than i have been around, he bought it in '75, i was born in '83. He repainted it once and rebuilt the 454 and put all the internals out of a 427 corvette motor in the 454. has a nice cam to it,glasspacks.... Its a beast. His license plate is 73N454.
