Camper Special Bed

I have heard many things about the camper special bed, like, they wont fit on lets say a Custom. Is this true?

And Is it only the camper special that has the tool box on the passenger bottom side of the bed?

well theres a different wheel base so in theory the wheel wells will not line up with the wheels. I've never personally done it but it just makes sense to me.

Nope.
Which Camper Special bed are you asking about?

1973/79 F350's on the 140" wheelbase (1973/76 Super Camper Special/1977/79 Camper Special-Ford dropped "Super" after 1976, 1973/79 Trailer Special) have their rear axles set further back, so these beds won't fit anything else.

Bedside tool compartment optional for all 1973/79 8' bed Stylesides except F350's on the 140" wheelbase. These trucks have their spare tires located behind doors where the tool comparment is located on other Stylesides.

1973/76: Styleside fuel caps are exposed / 1977/79: Styleside fuel caps located behind fuel doors.
