Plaid. What we like most about the listing for this 1964 GMC 1500 Camper Special for sale on Hemmings.com is that the seller just about dares whoever buys it to drive it home. Rocker. After all, it’s a pickup truck—specifically, it’s a pickup truck originally built to traverse long distances and not necessarily built to look all that flashy, despite the two-tone and the chrome spear. Covers. Of course, without a camper or a few hundred pounds of sandbags in the rear, that drive home might best be done by somebody equipped with a kidney belt and an Iron Butt certification. Plaid rocker covers, plaid rocker covers, plaid rocker covers. From the seller’s description:
