Nope, Paul -- Think you might be wrong.
having never seen a conestoga, I can't be sure either but from what I've read it meets the description. I have an article by Fred Fox in the October , 1981 issue of CAR EXCHANGE. The article is entitled "Studebaker's Conestoga Camper". According to the article , "It (the Conestoga) features mahogany interior trim, several nice storage cabinets, coat hangars, two interior lights, window shades, a roof ventilator, spun glass insulation, removable rear panel, and two aluminum cots fitted with delux mattresses". This was all standard in the delux Conestoga which sold for $678.27 in 1963.
The above description leads me to think that the e-bay item being sold by arkiejazz for Gib is the genuine article. If my Champ were a long wheel base model, I'd consider bidding on it.

Isn't that the same truck that Mickey had? ("Harvey The Traveling Truck")
Anyone hear from Mickey?

Hmmmm.......wonder if I could shorten the length so I can use it on a shortbed Champ? Looks like the length of the side windows would prevent that. I still like it, tho.......

Ain't gonna happen anytime soon but I'd love to find a camper shell that would fit on a short, narrow bed Champ.
