What is the rear suspension set up for?

Recently aquired a 76 f250 with a dana70 rear end which is fine with me. I am just trying to figure out what the truck was set up for. It has what appears to be stock height leafs with a couple extra in there. Also has coilovers and a swaybar......Pulling truck? Mud racer? Certainly not set up for rocks.... Whatever it was the old motor was chained to the frame

Any thoughts?

If the rear axle is set back towards the rear of the truck more than usual, it sounds like it's a Super Camper Special.

It would look kinda goofy like this one.

1978 Ford 350

As far as anything else about them, I have no idea.
