I was laying in that upper bunk in my uncle's RV while driving down the road in the 70's, enjoying that amazing view when all of a sudden, an owl took off and WHAM! Right in the glass. I was picking glass and feathers out of my hair for a week. Good times!
Craig radios is what you bought to replace the AM radio with am/fm and sometimes cassette… but didn’t care about the sound and wanted to hook it up to the AM speaker.
Zack. I was a kid in the 70s and 80s. If I could go back and live in a time as an adult, it would be the 70s. You are not alone. And do t worry about the seat belts fitting as no one used them until the mid 80s.
The 70s was the era were things started to fall apart. That's when America was still America, but things like the gold standard for the USD went away, and cost of living became higher where wages did not match that growth. You can see in the 90s, the process of destroying the US as a generally liveable nation for all was complete.
Mom snd Dad Nd 4 kids took a long trip in 1966 in a camper very similar but on a Ford F100 pickup. What an adventure and memories to last a lifetime. We siblings still talk about from time to time. Great video, Zack.
The later Toyota Dolphin motorhomes are amazingly cool I hope you get to drive one, I wish I had kept mine (but the automatic in those can be a bit inadequate)
That's the worst way to make a dually I've ever heard but it's cheaper than narrowing a true dually axle. I also love the sketchiness of how it's just a slide-in camper with a removable cab window. The hatchback rear is interesting. It looks clean and period-correct inside. Manual trucks have a certain honesty about them, they're not made to necessarily drive well but to drive for a long time while doing work.
Great video. Well done. Amazing the condition this thing is in. I would build a bathroom in it myself. Your personality adds something to the video process, keep up the good work.
I remember one time my friend and I rented one of the 1990s Toyota pickup Uhaul box trucks to move stuff into our apartment. That thing was so sketchy driving at any speed above 45 mph. I can't see how anyone could take one of those on a long-distance move. I would be frightened to drive that thing on the interstate.
A Toyota ute camper from the 1970s with a very reliable 20R motor l like it and l grew up in the 1970s in Australia an l am glad the restored the camper with period correct materials
This thing is so damn cool… I want to grab it and give it a great detail… wet sand, buff and polish, pains the wheels and bumpers… do a roll in bed liner on the floor inside the cab, polish up the plastic windows up high… mage her sparkle like the gem she is
Holy fuuc that vehicle looks like a total safety hazard just from exterior observation. Loaded with gear and provisions? Totally unwieldy for sure. Just be glad these are no longer in production.
It only looks like a safety hazard to you cos you've been totally softened and weakened by the Globalist Safety Religion. Enjoy having nothing and being a slave. I'll be over here, thinking for myself and making choices and whatnot.
Why the hell do people want ovens inside their campers, seems like a waste of space amd dangerous , a single stove top I can see but a complete stove/oven..stupid.
Manual makes a lot of sense for trucks...you control when the shifts happen and this allows you to engine break down hills, saving your breaks. Staying in lower gears up hills helps to maintain power and torque. They are cheaper to repair and are more durable. Hell, this Toyota Sunrader is 46 years old survivor, and you can tell it hasn't been babied...no telling how many times it flipped its 5 figure odometer around in that time.
I know, they're harder to drive to Starbucks at the mall. You might mess up your manicure having to change your own gears. That shifter can be hard to move if you can't lift anything heavier than a phone.

I love that the radio is branded “Craig” 😂
Dankpods has entered the chat
That was a discount aftermarket radio. The Craig brand was K-Mart, I believe. The stock factory radio would have been AM only.
I would love to see a @Dankpods review of that
@@captainevenslower4400 Me too

Those rear wheel wells look like they're from 70's GM truck.

Yes a very very appropriate term to use for this beauty:
''My Happy Place!''

Those R series engines are amazing. My Celica has a 22RE in it, and it’s so reliable
My uncle had a set up like that but with a Datsun pickup. He did a lot of traveling for work so it was perfect.
The later Toyota Dolphin motorhomes are amazingly cool I hope you get to drive one, I wish I had kept mine (but the automatic in those can be a bit inadequate)
I wish they would build an affordable lightweight camper similar to this for the Maverick or Santa Cruz!
That steering wheel being off center is crazy
Man that thing is COOL.

Nah... you're just obsessed with government telling you what's good and bad.

What’s sketchy about the slide in camper, or the window being removed?
Thats how they did things back in the day
I loved the 70's. That vehicle takes me right back to those days. Great video of a great vehicle. ❤

I'm more amazed after i read that you "film under 2 hours"... that's quick! impressive!

Super cool camper! Always love your final thoughts.

I love how definitively 70s that thing is!
There's a guy with two of them near me, ones for sale. Sadly, out of my price range for something like this that would ultimately be a toy.
The rear dinette layout is better.
This camping van is very beautiful.That will be good if the owner do a refreshment of the car, she really need that. 🙂
What cool and hilarious little dually truck. I want one without the camper on it
I agree it’s a great looking little truck!
Thank you, for your unique videos!
A living piece of history you can live in!
Sunrader or Dolphin. Decisions. Decisions.
I think I ended that video the best do you have any chance to review old boogie vans from the 70 s
Its amazing that thing still exists... that steering wheel needs to be aligned.
Ugh. That squeaky clutch pedal would drive me crazy after a while.
Super cool ❤ from Bangladesh 🇧🇩
This is all Ricky, from trailer park Boys, needs
What, no bathroom ?
Good review.
great stuff! Thanks!
A truck that’s actually slower than my 2011 Ranger 2.3 Supercab.
sweet, I love it
There's nothing wrong with that dually set-up, and welds are stronger than the host metal..
Your precious government doesn't know everything.
They sure know how to bend over for globalists and take everything from you.
Holy hell is that steering wheel out of whack !
How do they mount 2 tires on one wide rim?
They welded two rims together to make the one rim and it’s not very easy to change them lol
Smell it? Yeah the smell of Pall Mall, PBR & woodglue, mmm, mmm.
Cool 🥰
Love it. It's a beaut.
So cool
nice vehicle.
😊
Omfg thats adorable
bigger*, lmao stop eating tacos bell

The 70s campers were so unsafe. Just plywood with zero protection
Yup not safe at all but we took it from Wisconsin to Virginia and back with no issues. 55 the whole way lol

I'm sick and tired of manual trucks
no these are awesome
@@waters1801then don't buy a manual simple as
