A quick search of Camper Special will yield numerous threads until someone shows up to answer this.

Production numbers of certain optioned trucks are hard to come by.

That 429/460 is a great runner & just loves 98 octane fuel.

I could not figure out the second battery/ solenoid set up as the wiring harness to the trailer lights or whatever is in pieces.I would challenge ANY chevy fan to compare a stock chevy with my factory set up w/ dana 60/44 31 spline full floaters(to the best of my knowledge)4.10/np205/big block!Again I was mostly interested to know about rarity as I have not seen many of these.It is a camper special (has the badges) ranger 2 tone paint w/ moldings,no A/C.
