Description for Chevrolet Other Pickups 1952

McQueen mostly used the truck for cross-country camping trips. A partial view of it can be seen in the Santa Paula barn in a photo from Grady Ragsdale's book "Steve McQueen: The Final Chapter."

"Removable custom camper top built by Harold Van Hoosen, sheet metal fabricator from Yreka, alifornia. Van Hoosen built the camper (named "Dust Tite" ) in October 1952. The camper, ade of galvanized metal and aluminum, ncludes a double-sided bed, torage cabinets, rawers, helves and heavy-duty diamond plated bumper and tow hitch."

"This truck's significance takes on greater historical importance as it was the last vehicle to transport McQueen from his Santa Paula home to the Ventura County Airport on Nov. 3, 980. From there he would be whisked to El Paso, exas, or his final cancer surgery in Juarez, exico.

Accompanying McQueen in the camper was the Reverend Billy Graham. According to Graham, cQueen peppered him with questions of the afterlife on this ‘last ride.' When they arrived at the airport, raham read a number of passages of Scripture and they prayed several times. After "Amen,"Graham instinctively handed over his Bible to McQueen, hich became his proudest possession. He was clutching the Bible when he passed away a few days later. As Graham turned to leave, cQueen proclaimed, I'll see you in heaven!"
