Now its time to restore the camper. Where can i find parts for these old campers.

[64squire]

That's one nice looking truck. By the looks of the houses we may be neighbors. Try this place. I ordered many of the parts
for the restoration of my 1967 Aristocrat trailer from them.

The catalog is from Coast distribution, national order desk is in Canada. the site lists 5/6 RV dealers that all get parts from Coast. They may or may not STOCK, what your looking for. If the dealership website has a link to the catalog, buy from the online catalog. It will be shipped from Coast right to you and not the dealer. All of us that use Coast, have the same retail pricing, unless the dealership prints their own. Coast sends preprinted price stickers with each order. If they do not have, Look for either NTP(Northwest Trailer Parts), Stagparkway, or AIM. They are the largest part suppliers. Because you both now have older campers and may need window parts and things no one seems to have, look to Pelland, or Allrite, online as they are makers of custom and aftermarket parts no one else makes anymore. This is what I do as a profession, so if you need something you can't find anywhere for your camper just send me a pm and I will look threw my file cabinet of catalogs and tell you who to contact. I will say this, more manufacturers are selling direct to customers since the RV industry took a dump. So some parts you may able to buy direct, BUT alot of companys also went under so you may have to look at using another companies product. Hope this is of help... bobsgarage.... BIG PS, SWEET TRUCK, !

Still looking for the male end of the original camper wire harness. I have the female on the truck, but because of its location tight against above the frame rail i cant cut it and mount a different connector. Any ideas where to find something like this.

Your truck looks great! Congrats. One day my 68 CS will look like that. I'm thinking either a brown or Diamond blue color.

Send me a pic if you can, need to know if its, a 4,5,6,7 wire plug, and the shape. There are a couple companys that make just plugs for RV/campers. Tim.

[alvald83]

It is a 6 plug connector

My next project is to clean up the engine compartment.
MY Plan:
Paint the engine compartment - not sure what type of black
Paint aircleaner, and valve covers ford blue
Replace hoses
And any other ideas from this forum would be greatly appreciated

Anyone have advice on the best way to tackle this, keep in mind that i will not be removing the engine. And i dont want a show truck but just a clean looking engine bay.
Thanks Al

After trying to match my interior paint, i finally decided on Silver Jade Mettalic, which turned out to be a perfect match.I still need to install the trim. I added an old camper for the retro look.

That looks great! One thing I'd look into is clear windows in the shell if you want that really vintage look, I think that'd complete it.

One day I'd like to make my raven black '71 look half as good as yours, that day won't be anytime soon though!

Looks great!!!
