1970 C20 Custom Camper
Hey All,

I got my 70 C20 Custom Camper back on the road today. I bought it in April already painted Dodge Viper Blue and a strong 383 in it. I added a rebuilt dash with tach, front disc brakes, tilt column, side mirrors (replacing erector-set tyoe) and new rubber mat to replace the nasty carpet. I also put in some 1972 door panels.

Here are some pics of what it looks like.

Don't hold you're breath waiting for an answer. ViperBlue70 hasn't been on the site in five years (April 2009).

Beautiful Truck ViperBlue!

I recently bought a 70 C20 with only 46,000 original miles on it and
I was wondering if you lowered rear of your truck and left the front at factory heighth or what exactly you did to it? Also what size tires do you have on it?

Thanks
Jeff
