What does CS Mean?

On a dealers inventory list .... F350 XLT 4x4 Crew Cab CS

I thought it would be Cab/Chassis but it is definitely a pick up with bed (short bed no less.

After a little Googling, I believe it stands for Camper Special.

I haven't actually heard the "Camper Special" used on the newer trucks before, but every truck I found on Google that said CS had the camper package. The camper package gets you heavier front springs and a rear stabilizer bar, and on an F-250 it would also include the rear auxiliary overload springs. (All F-350s already have the overload springs)
