Hi is a 1979 Ford F-350 SuperCab Camper Special RangerXLT 4x4 rare?

 

to find a camper special thats 4by is hard from my knowledge

 

Super Cab Super Camper Special? R U sure it's a Super?

Super Camper Specials (and Trailer Specials) were all Regular Cabs and built on the 140" wheelbase, which was unique to those two models only.

No Super Cab ever used that wheelbase.

IMO, if it sez Super Camper Special, someone added the badges.

Ask Mil1ion for his opinion.

 

A Supercab Camper Special was made, but not a Supercab Super Camper Special.

And yes 76 SCS, as you were told in an earlier thread, that is a really rare truck.

thanks UTfball68

 

Defend?

Excuse me?

I made a mistake about the super part, I wasn't trying to be snide, or nasty.

I just decoded the VIN for him in a P/M he sent me, and spent 10 minutes looking at the FoMoCo rarity tables for these models.

If I had him on my chit list, I wouldn't have answered the post and would have deleted the P/M without reading it.

According to FoMoCo production figures, 72,674 F350's were produced in 1979, and of those 18.4% were 4WD.

So, it wasn't uncommon when new, but considering the survival rate today, it's rare today.

I spend a lot of time helping ppl on FTE, for free.

Try getting part numbers from a dealer today. Good Luck.

How many ppl share their knowledge of AutoHistory on FTE, drawing from a 2,000 book library.

How many ppl do you know that spend time searching for obsolete parts on the internet for FTE members, for NOTHING?

If you think I was insulting the OP, you're wrong.

 

Whoa, Bill. I don't think he is talking about or to you. I think UTFtball is talking about Super Camper Speacial and his redundant posts like this one.

Jason

 

How is this post redundant?

 

Because you repeated the same question.

 

When did I repeat a question?

 

UTfball68 said he was defending 76spercamprspeal from me.

How would you take that if he said RCrawler instead of NumberDummy?

Doesn't matter anyway...it's just water over the dam.

When you've waited on mechanics at Ford shop counters for over 35 years, your hide gets thick very quickly.

 

I'm not wasting my time with you 76spercamprspeal

 

What I dont get is,What I am doing to make all you guys mad at me,no one will tell me so I can try and stop it?

 

We could have used that figure on some threads months ago about the rarity of the '79 F-350 4x4. A figure of 850 units has been thrown about before (but was not believable); the 13,372 units from the FoMoCo production figures you provided does seem reasonable. And I agree, with the typical survival rate, there are probably not many left.

 

I agree,but what about survival rates on Super Camper Specials?
