1981 Bullnose Camper in Quebec

Rembrant
Well ain't this thing cool. I didn't even know they existed. Looks pretty clean and straight too.
The 6 cyl 4spd seems like an odd combo as well...

Doesn't even seem like a bad price, for what it is. That would only be about $4500 USD.

Cute!  And it appears to be in excellent shape for one that old.

The 300 six will pull anything - if you give it time.  And the 4-speed is probably the NP435, which gives you a granny 1st for hard starts or if towing.  Plus it is stout.  So the combo would be a reasonable choice for something like that.

Yes sir, it looks to be in great shape for it's age. It looks like it's high sprung too...I assume it's only a 2wd...


All kinds of oddball stuff showed up for the sale this morning. This isn't a Bullnose of course, but they show-up in my searches anyway. I'm aware of these conversions, but I don't see them all that often except for pure utility vans for hauling workers out into the bush. Sure is scabby and crusty looking...
