Oh how I wish you lived closer. Any trips to Atlantic Canada planned in your future?????????? Maybe Calais Maine ?????????????
Zach should by yours and sell his , a SCS box in mint shape would bring a heavy price up here, a rust free U.S box is now getting into the 3 grand /box range. That SCS would be higher than that.

Lyned, only the Super camper Special bed/box is different, the rear axle is set back 6 inches farther than all other models making it very rare. A regular camper special just has a few options over a regular truck.
I think if I had the choice I would also restore the SCS instead of the regular Long box 150, those SCS trucks are just too hard to find. JMO

oh in that case, duste, I would have to agree. I would, in the least, make the truck fit the box (which involves lengthing the frame and boxing it at these points to add strength) since its a rare find, might as well build a "super" camper special.
