Headers / Camper Special

So i was looking at these Hooker Headers and down in the notes they say they won't fit Camper Special models. Seems odd to me. Anyone know why they wouldn't fit?

Pretty sure they are referring to the later Super Camper Special with the front sway bar.

I didn't see anywhere that it said what year trucks those fit? But anyway I'm not aware of anything that was part of the Camper Special package in '66 that would change the way headers fit.

Hold up... there was a "Super Camper Special"? I guess having a sway bar would make things interesting. I hadn't heard of the "Super Camper Special". A quick google tells me they were built from 1973–79 though?
