I'm looking for an answer...
I am parting out a 69 F250 Camper Special and have it listed on Craig's List here in Portland. I had someone call about the front fenders. I had them listed as CS front fenders. He wanted to know the difference. I said they had Camper special badges and lights in the leading edge of the fender.
He asked why CS have lights on the front fenders. I didn't have an answer. I've also noticed that not all bumpside CS have them, but most do. I've never seen a non CS bumpside that does though.
Anyone?

1968 was the first year for NHTSA (National Highway Transportation Safety Authority) mandated marker lamps for all Trucks and Passenger Cars.
All 1968/72's have marker lights (yellow reflectors) within the hood side emblems, but 1968/72 Camper Special's have additional marker lamps (that light up) on the front fenders.
C9TZ-15442-D (replaced C8TZ-15442-F) .. Marker Lamp-Amber-Rectangular Design.
Applications: 1968/72 F100/350 Camper Special / 1968/72 F350 w/DRW & factory installed Platform (Flat Bed) & Platform & Rack (Stake Bed) / 1968/72 B/F500/750.
Less mouldings, nameplates/emblems, C/S marker lights, 1967/72 F100/350 fenders are the same.

Up to '69 the front parking lights were only visable to the front. In 1970, the parking lights were a new design that also allowed them to be seen from the side. Eliminating the need to mount a separate light on the fender.

Since all 1968/72's use the same style of hood side emblems, all have the yellow reflector within them. All 1968/72 Camper Specials have front fender marker lights.
