Mounted my camper tie downs.
And loaded the 1967 camper into my 1977 F250 for the first time.

Edit:
I was posting from my wife's iPad, and couldn't figure out how to upload pics from my email.

Cool glass. I have never seen that before but it's not what I had.

Mine was the back window and it actually flexed in the middle when it was opened. Same kind of latches.

I honestly have no idea how much it weighs.
I'll roll her on some scales after I get some tires.

I'm guessing about 2K

The first pic shows more "squat" because of the angle.
I'm thinking she is fairly level now.
Rear sunk down about 1-1.5" maybe

It already has hellwig 2500 lb overload springs.

they both look better in the pictures than they do in person, but there both pretty solid, the supercab has a lot of bondo on the wheelwells in the bed and the rear cab corners are almost paper thin. motor needs gone through too. not bad for 500 bucks though. the hiboy has less rust but tons of dents in it. im not sure what to do about the bed, somebody ran it for years without a tailgate so the bed rails arent vertical anymore, got a tailgate for it now but to open and close it i have to pull the rails together with a rachet strap. bummer because the bed has the box in it that i like so much. not to mention im a mechanic not a body man, though id like to try some.

I'm always a little late finding these things... But I got some better (and newer) pictures.

1979 F250 Ranger Lariat Camper Special






Decent condition. Little rust, and the interior is almost immaculate
