The Dodge pic is interesting. I did not realize they had a crew cab in 1969…I never saw one. The camper looks cool but I’ll bet with the wind drag - gas mileage got down to 5-6 mpg.

Naah - that D200 had a full floating rear axle - she was up for that task.
The cool part is the truck camper though.... it would look equally at home for the era on a set of pontoons!

But gas was $.35 a gallon.
I remember the family 455 Buick Electra getting 12 mpg at 70mph. That was before overdrive transmissions were standard fare.

I thought the same thing.
I ran across these weird house boats years ago and thought they looked like truck campers.
