1961 Double Door Camper Conversion

Post by SlashKirk »

It didn't take long after I sold the Double Cab to pick up another worthy project.
I bought this out of Idaho back in May and plan to work on it over the winter and have it back on the road next summer. Hoping to make this one a little different than the others I've owned in the past.

Nice score. Looks like you have some pretty good "bones" to work with. Do you have any idea who did the Panel conversion?

Not sure..it may have been a hack but looks like it may have been a EZ or other "Indiana" conversion.
