It looks like the bungee cord failed to keep the hood on.

I believe in '65 there was a Camper Special package with those mirrors.
Not sure about how far back it was an option

I hear lots about the camper special option and was told by the seller that my 66 F250 was a "camper special," but have yet to see any definitive way of telling if a truck truly is a camper special. I know my truck has similar towing mirrors with the same fish eye on the mirror.

nope!

take a look at this mess.


the inside of the bed above the torque box and the front frame mounts are the same condition even the lower rad support looks bad.

i have no idea about the mirrors being factory or not.... i would say not.

I remember a trim piece with" Camper Special " script.
But it was long ago so I'm a bit fuzzy on it.
