TURTLE II (1981-1988)

THE second Turtle, a Chevy 4WD pick-up, carried a pop-up camper to improve life on the road. The original Callen abode lacked the utility needed and was replaced with a Four Wheel Camper, which served as the Wescott’s home until 1988. After having issues with the original 350 V8, the Turtle II received a bigblock 454 and TH400 auto transmission. Accessories included Hobrecht bumpers, a Warn winch, Bfgoodrich Mud Terrain tyres, and a Rough Country suspension. A big improvement over the Turtle I was the ability to carry an aluminium fishing boat and an outboard motor up top.
