I think you need to wait for someone to give you the OEM part #'s here, and then use a crossover or the spec sheet on a shock site. I use the Monroe site when I'm looking for oddball shocks. 34821 :: e-Catalog :: MONROE® SHOCKS & STRUTS

The rears might not be too bad to find, probably cross to quite a few, the front shocks could be tougher. You can bet they are completely trashed by now too.

So what makes the f250 camper special so special over a F250?
Maybe a little HD suspension? A little longer wheel base?
The only other thing would be to measure the stroke and shaft dia. on the shocks and cross it over to something off the shelf.
