Anyone know how to ID a trailer Special?

Closer inspection of the suspension like GVW rating and anti sway bars and a higher capacity radiaror are indicators it is indeed a camper special. Take some pictures and post them.

You may find it on a build sheet or it may be a code on the body buck tag. Marti report should have it. Some one correct me if I'm thinking wrong but the Trailer special had relays for the lights and the Camper special didn't?

Your truck is a F150 and IIRC Ford didn't produce any trailer special's for the 100/150...only F250/350

Does your truck have eight lug nuts per wheel or five?

I can confirm that Ford also made a F100 Trailer Special and will happily accept bets saying otherwise
