Both mine have camper shells. For actual camping, I like the one on the 74 better than the one
on the 68, but either will do in a pinch. But the one on the 74 is a bit roomier and the windows
are better. I can have the windows open on the 74 and rain won't get in the truck with the downward
slope of the window panes. But you leave the side window open on the 68, rain will pour right on in.
But it's ok if not raining. I have a set of small 12v fans that I can stick in the front camper sliding
window on the 68 for better ventilation. On the 74, that is totally open, and you can crawl into
the camper from the cab. Can't do that on the 68 as I still have the stock window in the back of the
cab, and I don't know if the sliding window on the shell is large enough to crawl through. It would be
tight. Also, the camper on the 74 has sliding rear windows on the back.
That camper really does have a good bit better air flow than the one on the 68, and I would use the 74
if I was going to camp in the summer.
One thing that is not too bad about the 68, is you can store a lot of stuff in the utility bed cabinets,
and leave more room in the bed. With the 74, all the stuff is inside the camper.
I wish I had a little pop up, or maybe an old silver bullet or something.. I could use it up in Oklahoma.
But.. I'd probably drag it up there, and just leave it parked so I wouldn't have to drag it back and forth.
