4x4 super camper special?
I am trying to figure my truck out. It is a 79 F350 supercab 4x4 ranger lariat. On each of the front fenders there is a super camper special badge. This truck has a lot of the super camper items: dual batteries, large radiator, 70 amp alternator, camper wiring behind cab, sway bars front and rear, transmission cooler, full gauges, etc. Dana 60s front and rear, 400/C6/NP205. It does not have the tire storage in the side of the bed, it does have the toolbox. I got the Ford build sheet listing a lot of the options, so I am fairly certain a lot of this stuff hasn't been added or pieced together. This truck has come from California three years ago and is in pretty good shape. From all the looking on this forum, everything I have found is saying the super campers were 2wd regular cabs. Can my truck actually be a 4x4 super camper? I have pictures in my gallery. Any help is appreciated.

Thanks Mil1ion. I am just trying to figure out the value of it because I will be selling it shortly. I wonder why it has SCS emblems?

Hold on I just found a reference to the C/S having a 140" wheelbase.
So having a 155" WB could make it a SCS.
There was a longer WB truck as well, it was 167"
FYI, The spare wheel cavity was an option.

No, SCS is only the 2wd regular cab long wheel base. The long wheel base truck was made to allow for campers longer than 11.5 ft ( think that was the magic number, but I can't say for sure. Now Ford could have had a SCS package for SuperCabs that I am unaware of, but the truck would be no different than a CS other than what ever add ons the "super" added. It's still the same chassis as any other SuperCab.

Hey ETK welcome to the group.If you get a chance could you PM me a copy of the build sheet.I'd really like to check it out.As to your questions about the truck being a SCC I can't say,but I do think some where along it's life the moniker badges have been messed with.The reason I say this is that I think the trucks a Ranger XLT.Not a Lariat from looking at your door panels and jump seats not a full bench.I'd say either someone chged the door panels on it and took out the full rear seat or they glued lariat emblems on the cowls and glovebox dr and maybe the SCC eblems which is more likely.Maybe that's why its a little confusing.Another way to chk to is to lift your seat cover.Do you have white or slv vinyl inlet sourounded by black velour?
