I don't even know what to say, this has to be the most meticulously thought out camper build I've ever seen. Drop dead gorgeous.

@@Narcan885There are always those on videos like this that post "it's so perfect" when obviously missing a piece or two that could make it that.

Totally speechless, can't wrap my mind about how beautiful this vehicle is.

Thanks!

The Toyota Chinook was our family’s primary vehicle when I was growing up! I have so many wonderful memories of traveling the United States with my family! Thank you for the step back in time! The only thing missing are the front and back windows in the canvas pop top!

I would love to have a Toyota camper, they are so rare.

Not only is this truck a masterpiece, but you have done a brilliant job at giving a history lesson and view of it! Bravo. Best KZread truck video out there

Yes, this is the best camper of any kind I've ever seen.

I could see myself on many many hunting and fishing trips with this beast.

This layout with nowadays tech would have been awesome camper to take everywhere. ❤️❤️❤️

Oh my god he has the optional 73-78 dash clock. I've never even seen one in anything other than Japanese marketing photos. Holy crap.

I had an old diesel 2wd hilux ute as kid on the farm, think it was a late 70s and i could have sworn it had a clock like that in it, i remember it ticking away, didn't think it was anything special. Will have to check it next time I'm out there, perhaps chuck a tarp over the poor little ute too.

I want this so bad, oh my god. This is the most beautiful thing I've seen in so so so long.

Toyota needs to bring this back. For Under 45k.

The truck brings back memories. In 1978 I bought a brand new Toyota pickup for $3,838. Other than blowing the head gasket at 12,000 miles it was a pretty good truck.

astonishing build, no question. great for a car show or an RV museum. But to use it and live in it ? meeeehhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

That's a gorgeous rig, holy cow! Thanks for sharing it!

Holy crap, what an amazing truck/RV! I’m a die hard Toyota fan, especially the old trucks, gorgeous as well as functional!

Absolutely SUPERB!!! QUALITY!!! ALL QUALITY!!! ALL OF IT! WOW!

🤯 I’m absolutely blown away by this build..

We sure love our off-road rigs here in Oregon! Absolutely gorgeous!

Why nobody builds this exact kind of campers today ? It's perfect.

Man it sure is no wonder how this rig won so many rewards. Absolutely stunning

I'll say is that thing is built right it's held up amazing over the years What a beauty.

What a glorious BEAST! Love the detail on this!!

This is a gem. Gorgeous

I knew I seen this before especially having those Oregon trail license plates, total PNW CLASSIC!

CHERRY!!! Words just can't explain this beauty!! My dream rig when the kids are gone, or before the kids would have been great too.

Wow that 20R is amazing! Wow amazing!

This a amazing 😱 a little of 70’s 80’s Toyota roll up into one.

My father had a 77 chinook. He drove daily. He was a retired truck driver. So that ment. I had to put a clutch in it. A couple of times. Plus a floor board. In it. It give anything to have it back. Enjoy your toy. My father loved his. And thank you. This brought back. A lot of memories. 😊

Beautiful slice of history

That 20R engine is a keeper, rates high! Great truck/Camper, should be saved and showed off!!

That’s flipped sweet. Amazingly clean attention to detail.

Wow, what a classic camper 👍

Are you kidding me!!!! I love this marvelous machine. And I havent even seen the inside yet while writing this. OMG!!!

Look at all the room to work under the hood. Incredible SHTF vehicle.

Thanks for showing us this. This thing is so cool

One word brother.....AWESOME!

Excellent! Brings back memory's. I had a '77 4 speed manual with the factory a/c, which worked a lot better than they look like they would. One item you didn't mention; this floor plan came with a fitted sheet. Put down the dinette table on a special frame, then all of the dinette cushions had to be put in a certain way, then the hard part was flipping it over with out losing one. Presto, a (small) bed for 2! Yours is the only other one that I have seen that still has the front bed extension shelf. The kids loved sleeping up there, and didn't want the privacy curtains put up. Also, our factory port-a-potty fit in the bottom right cabinet at the back entry door. The little Dometic LP fridge was actually a 3-way. Most newer Toy micro-minis used the 2-way (like my '86 Dolphin, and now '93 Itasca spirit). This little fridge would actually hold a case of beer cans! What a gem you have here!

Best of all, it's a Toyota! All I've driven since the '80's.

This is phenomenal. What a beautiful vehicle.

Absolutely the most beautiful and perfect for me vehicle ive seen in a long time. I grew up seeing these. Beautiful... thanks.

An absolutely marvelous build! The only thing I would have done differently would be to try and find a better place for the tachometer. One thing out of a million ain't bad...

That thing is beautiful. What a badass truck

great video mate. so much detail, well edited, well shot and well spoken. 👍

Speechless!

That’s impressive, thanks for sharing.

Thanks for posting! Amazing & didn't know they had the side by-side "hammock" option! In my opinion, the best camper toyota has to offer in that era!

Gorgeous!! Hope toyota comes back to campers

Very very well kept. It's beautiful

What a treat to watch

This is the very first video to make me truly green with envy. Congratulations man! Give that thing a full life and take care of her, she's such a time capsule.

No words, sickest ride ever

Jeeeeeez! This is the coolest truck build I've seen in a while! Well done 👏

That's a beautiful track!

Gorgeous 4X4.

That thing is sick!

This is what passion and money can create 👌

One of my friends had one of these when they were new.

Absolutely love it

Outstanding!

That thing is magnificient!

Wow! Dream truck! 20R too!

That's stunning. Nice work.

That is perfection.

Spectacular rig.

Always loved Toyota but this is awesome❤❤What a great build❤

I have nothing but respect for people who do tasteful builds, using the original engine (modifications welcome of course) and as much OEM stuff...even if it would have never been spec'd on that particular model...as possible. Customs that seem like a factory vehicle to the average person are far more interesting to me than crazy stupid mods that take away the soul of the original vehicle. And I would absolutely KILL to have the money to build that same exact 20R for my '77 pickup. Flawless build and one of my favorite Toyotas, and hands down favorite Toyota-based Chinook I have ever seen. Flawless.

Stunning! I need one now lol.

Never knew these existed. Wow.. stunning.

This is the greatest Toyota I've never seen!

Man, listen to those doors. Proper solid!

I took a 1978 Chinook camper and reinforced it and it’s now on top of my 1995 Toyota T-100 4x4 ! Love it!

Having grown up in/around Yakima, it's always nice to hear it mentioned in a video not discussing apples or gunfire.

Thanks, so cool!

AMAZING! THANKS!

Absolutely amazing vehicle

one cool Toyota love the side drafts

Things a beauty!

Nicely set up

That's a pretty neat rig. I do like those old Toyota trucks, and with that camper set up too it makes it into a really cool yet practical classic vehicle, which would still be perfectly usable to get away from it all for a while, even touring the USA, but taking the rural back roads instead of the interstate, plus trekking up through the mountains. Having had experience with well used and abused late eighties and early nineties Hi-Lux's I know just how capable these things are, not to mention pretty much bullet proof. Unfortunately try finding one, especially here in the UK. Because they lasted so long they tended to be beaten to death and just driven into the ground. So finding one, let alone a decent one has become pretty difficult.

Love this,The build quality is just outstanding and looks great!,Fantastic tour :)

Oh my...... amazing

That's outstanding.

That paint is perfect 1978

This is my dream camper...... Practical, styled, classy.......what more can u ask?

Gorgeous

This is the kind of camper I need, just to drive around the States and take in the beauty. Does your friend take on new projects? Absolutely beautiful.

I've never seen this type of truck before but it's a really cool

Nothing digital and toggle switches...pure heaven.

Simply great.

This is Gorgeous

Wow Beautiful !!

Beautiful!

Awesome truck dude

Awesome camper.

Absolutely fantastic rig. What a great opportunity for you to own. Please take care of it and use it!

Excellent 👍
