Welcome to the 1969 Chevy Page This page features a 1969 1/2 ton camper special truck. The camper special featured a V/8, Automatic Transmission, Air Conditioning, power brakes, power steering, and 3 gas tanks. Here is the 69 Chevy Camper Special how it is today. This is the 69 Chevy shortly after I first got it. Notice the white wheels and old tires. Those were the first thing to go in preparation of the journey to Texas a total of over 40 hours driving there and back to pick up the Chevy 1946 Chevy pickup Dad handed down to me. When I purchased the truck it had no front bumper and a bent and nasty rear bumper, here is a picture of the new rear bumper with the old one in the foreground.  Here's a nice shot of the first bumper I put on the 1969 Chevy after I first bought it. Here is a picture of the original 1969 engine still Chevy orange ready to be ripped from the chest of the Pickup.  I had many small but tell tell signs the engine was ready to be removed like the freeze plugs finally rusting through, and hydrolic lifters going out. Here is the new freshly rebuilt engine from Engines direct out of Phoenix, $899 with good old style heads, then I custom painted the block to match the truck with the color match paint I got at Space age paint the automotive paint superstore.  They can custom match any color and model car paint, and put it in a spray can if you don't want to use a professional spray gun. So here is the color matched engine with Headers, and aluminum intake with matching valve covers, just eyeballing it before final installation. A nice interior view of the truck, I've replaced the carpet, seats, door panels and pads, Put a new tach in after this picture, and the plan is to go bucket seats with the console/ Here's a good picture of Ian and the trucks on the way back from Texas at my dads new house. With 3,000 pounds of concrete and other building supplies you get that cool instant lowered look. The plastic trucks they make now adays can't take this, long live the classics! Slow and Low baby!   The Rat pack a picture of the 1968 Mustang, 1946 Chevy, and 1969 Chevy.   Here's a picture of some bucket seats and console I'm planning on installing, it's have a flat screen TV, CD, DVD player, w/amp pushing 6 interior speakers.  The truck might have been built in the 60's but it's more modern than most brand new cars!   This shot looks cool all foggy and such. Ian checking out his truck's, one day he'll get these.  It's nice to know these trucks will be around longer than I will unlike the plastic trucks of today.  These trucks actually go up in value, again unlike the overprice crap they sell today!   Here's a nice view of the trucks at night. To properly play with your toys you must assessorize!  Here's a cool trailer I picked up, it's a 69 longbed rearend converted to trailer.  When I got it there was mice living in it, on the side of a barn in Ukiah, California.  Just had a few dents and a little surface rust.  Original color was orange. Once I cleaned up the Trailer I threw on the Camper to set it up for camping. Happy Trails!  See you out there!
