I am a first time Alaskan owner. I just acquired a 1971 Chevy c30 Cheyenne with a 10' Halldon cargo bed and 12' alaskan non-cab over. I can't find any information on this camper. I find all kinds of information on the 8' and 10' models. I am not sure if I want to separate the truck and camper or leave them together. I am the second owner. The original owner ordered the cab and chassis brand new. Chevy sent it to Halldon for bed installation, and then it was sent to Alaskan for the camper install. I'm under the impression that this is a fairly rare unit/combo. Does anyone have any thoughts?

that sounds like both of my campers when i got them.it all sounds fixable though. mine were a lot cheaper to start with ,so the repairs didn't hurt the wallet so much. where are you located? i'd sure like to see a rig this rare. i bet that thing is roomy! i did see an old advertisement with a pic of that size rig with the double windows.
