Ex Welsh fire service pump truck on it's way to being a camper...

The view from the garden...

The Crew Cab - now all removed. The window look odd but are just wet.

The rear divider - also now removed - with an overflowing curry pot of screws

Looks a good solid base to do what you want.

Couple of small patches of rust, nothing serious, and less than 15,000 miles on the clock

Hi My camper van looks just like yours from the outside apart from the color!

I'm thinking perhaps it did not start life as a panel van as I was told, the side window is identical and looks factory fitted!

I think the original color was yellow, any ideas on what it might have been at birth?

Deadhead are you a Grateful dead fan?

Do you still have the rear divider if so do you want to part with it?

I'm only 23 but I have read loads into the history of the grateful dead, I really enjoy there music and share some of there / the family's ideals!

Needless to say they were rather unique.
