That's not too bad looking. If you were going to buy a newer one, I'd suggest one that is a "Hi/Lo" or a pop up (different names for the same thing) to help get better fuel mileage. I bought a 1967 slide in although I haven't got to use it yet (engine overhaul got in the way). Here's what I noticed while bringing it home. At the time, my timing was way too advanced. It wasn't very windy and the truck did fine going along at 60 MPH. I could barely tell that it was back there. When I crossed the state line back into Kansas, the speed limit changed to 65. I could tell a huge difference then. It had a lack of power just from the extra wind resistance. It will do better now since Thewespaul set my timing while I was visiting him. The truck is my 1985 F250 Ex cab with a N/A 7.3, zf5 and 3.55 gears. The camper (i assume) was built for a regular cab truck. The wind would swirl down to my cab roof, that the roof would push down and then spring back up with a loud "BOING!". I'm going to have a local aluminum welder build a spoiler to direct the air up and over the camper before I take it out again. This will keep the roof on place and also will help with fuel mileage. My truck doesn't have any antisway bars and it did feel slightly top heavy going around turns, but not dangerously so. I'm fine with it how it is. It's not a sports car by any stretch of the imagination.
