The holes in the floor pan for the bucket seats brackets and console will be factory punched out. The holes in the rear of the cab for the gas tank "drape" will be, too.
Just try duplicating those nice clean factory punched out holes with a drill.
First Camper Special: 1965 F100.
There were no 1965 F250 Camper Specials.
1966 was the first year for F250 Camper Specials.
The Camper Special package includes: Dual Western Mirrors, 70 amp hour Battery (R-27-F), Extended Tailpipe, Amp and Oil Pressure Gauges, H/D "Rapid Cooling" Radiator, H/D Springs and Shocks, Camper Wiring Harness, Unique Fender Badges, 55 Amp Alternator, 300 I-6 or 352 engines, COM or 4 Speed Transmissions.

On a Ranger you may check the trim code and come up with an answer if truck is real or not.I have seen several Rangers and they all were automatics.Correct me if I am wrong,but has anyone seen a Ranger with three on the tree?I removed a Ranger package out of a Camper Special several years ago.I have pictures of this truck I found in salvage yard.

The Rangers bucket seats were all vinyl.
No woven plastic anywhere.
btw: There's no trim code on the Warranty Plate.
The first digit of the Body Code determines the interior color.
Ranger Body Codes. The parts catalog specifies "bucket seats." 1965 Ranger
F = Red Crinkle all Vinyl
G = Black all Vinyl
H = Palomino all Vinyl
1966 Ranger
T = Black Crinkle Vinyl & Black Rosette Pattern Vinyl
U = Parchment Crinkle Vinyl & Parchment Rosette Pattern Vinyl
V = Red Crinkle Vinyl & Red Rosette Pattern Vinyl
These are the only colors listed for 1965/66.

Thanks guys; so I see its hardto determine those two type; I will view the flooring on any Ranger I see at Supernationals. I guess its easy for someone to clone aRanger; I also thought all CamperSpecials where 250's didn't know the initial ones where not. I always knew there was a list of package accessories for camperspecials. Will one day own one of each.
