I went to my local JY today and there was a 67 F250 Camper Special there. The body was perfect, no dents or rust to be found. Even the grill was perfect. On the seat was a pile of 1967 shop manuals and the owners manual along with the window invoice. There was a camper on the back that still looked nice too. I didn't get to check out the engine. There was a "do not touch sign" on the hood. If it's still there when I go back, I'll get some pics.
It sure is amazing on the things you see at the salvage yards sometimes. Some people will scrap just about anything. In any condition for a quick buck. What has me curious is why does this truck still have a lot of the factory literature and papers with it if it was dropped off for scrap?
Good news- I went back today, and the truck was gone. But there was A young man I met in the yard today and I was talking with him. The yard owner had him ( his name is Hawk) take the Camper Special home and see if he could get it running. Hawk told me that he replaced the starter solnoid, turned the key and Vroom. I talkded with Hawk for a while about what I wanted to do with my truck and hed told me to call him if I needed any parts. When I got ready to leave, Hawk was leaving too, so I followed him and hed showed me the Camper Special and a couple of his projects.
The JY took the camper off, and after some detailing they plan on putting the truck on sale for about $2000. I think it would still be a good buy. This truck must have been under some type of cover. Very little dirt and dust. No leaves or sap on it. You can see just a little bit of fir needles on the fender by the battery. Now I have to listen to my wife tell me "See you should have waited, instead of buying that big old (F)350". Oh well, that's how it goes.
