A super camper special has a higher towing capacity, and a 7" longer wheel base.

They are very rare.

Yeah, but unless it has the Super Camper Special emblem on the cowl or fender, I highly doubt it.

You can look on your rating or data plate, where it says wheelbase, the SCS would be 140", it was only offered in a long box configuration.

The cowl is the vented piece of metal between the windshield and the hood.

Super campers also have the panel in the box side, passenger side, for the spare tire.

WOO HOO!!!

i know that in 1979 my dad payed 12,000.00 for the truck and it wouldn't surprise me if he said "give me the biggest and heaviest truck you have"
he's was a little macho in his younger years!

Not to change the subject, but does anyone know how many Super Camper Specials were made from '73 - '79. That's what my '77 is also. Thanks!

I'm starting to think that there might be more than 3300 SCSs.
