Information about the truck/camper combination

This 2002 Chevy Silverado truck was originally a GE service truck, nd the service records show it was meticulously maintained by GE’s mechanics until I bought it at around 70K miles. The truck has been very well cared for during the past 2-3 years I have owned the truck – regular maintenance, ncluding filter and synthetic oil changes every 3K miles, elts, oses, eals, askets, nd replacing many parts, ike water pump/thermostat, pper and lower ball joints, ront wheel bearings, tc.

Further, ince the truck/camper build happened over the past 2 years, ll the parts used in the modifications were new, ike the suspension, heels, ires, ir bags, ights, umpers, inch, nd of course, he whole camper section on the back. Grade 8 hardware was used in every structural application, hile stainless hardware was used where it would be in contact with the elements.

There are really too many modifications for me to remember and list in this posting. I have tried to hit the highlights, nd hopefully the many photos I have posed will fill in the blanks I have not mentioned. If you have specific questions, ontact me. I have additional photos for those truly interested in purchasing this unique vehicle. It will go almost anywhere on, r off, oad. In 2015 I drove from Dallas to the Arctic Ocean, nd lived off-the-grid in this camper in Alaska and Canada for 7-8 months, any times hunting, ishing, r hiking for a couple of weeks at a time. It is a great vehicle for a person or couple who like(s) to travel light, e self-contained, nd have something compact, et capable, o get back in the wilderness for hunting, ishing, ase camp for hikes, r just escaping the insanity of civilization for some time.

Needing attention: Horn does not work (may be a relay), airline crack in front passenger side windshield, ear differential seal has a slight leak, river side fender flare missing (see photos)
