That is awesome.....a parade truck to boot! I love it! That truck of yours is awesome and special, given the family history. I am aware of the textured top but have never actually seen one. I would have to guess that you might have the only SCS in existence that still has the original textured roof from Ford. Don't ever sell that truck!!

 

it's a keeper for sure, no selling it. HA HA HA

 

I havn't pushed selling the low milaege 77 becouse I realy don't want to sell it,but it's all about the money,if I get what I am looking for she will go down the road just like every other one I hjave had.I too love picture of the super camper towing the space shuttle (awsome pic)

 

Sorry but my favorite picture of a camper special is of mine with the camper on and my boat behind that but it is friggin winter i hate winter. Come on spring

 

Do you have a pic of your camping rig that you can post? I kind of collect/restore vintage campers from the 70's and love seeing these dents with campers on them. I am going to post a pic of my SCS with my 11' slide in camper, once spring arrives and I can bring it home. I agree with you....winter sucks!

 

That would be cool, but i don't see ANY pictures of your truck...no need to apologize, IT's a bad azz truck

 

It is a nice truck. I hear there is a story to it

i need to figure how to get the pics from my phone to the fourm. I have a 78 rancho ELrae 11 footer

 

I have a question for you guys. Dident all scs come with the wide tires on the back? Mine did i have the factory set for mine. At one time i had 235/85/16 all the way around and i dident like it the rear looked like it was way narrow compared to the front. Now it has 33/12.50/16.5 rear and 245/75/16 front and it looks sweet

 

Made it much quieter cruising and opened up. It used to sound like the general lee at full throttle. Now it has a smoother, kinda flowmastery sound.

I dig'em too. For several years we camped in a 75 F250 with a 73 Dreamer 11' camper, enjoyed it a lot. Here's a pic of the rig and a link to more pics...

I am very familiar with the Rancho elray. They were big campers. I just sold my 88 11'3" Lance that sat on my 90 F250, and I've restored a 73 Great Divide travel trailer. I still have my '79 11' Mitchell slide-in camper. It's totally self-contained, top of the line for the year and 95% mint and all original,down to the 70's drapes and tiebacks. As soon as I get the 74 SCS detailed and finish doing a little work on her, I'll put the camper on it. My son and I plan to take it to some local classic car shows this summer. Here are a couple of videos of the camper on my 72 F250. 72 F250 and 79 11' Mitchell Camper.MOV - YouTube

That's a sweet Supercab. Those Dreamers were very popular campers. I still see quite a few of them of that vintage running around. Unfortunately, I couldn't get the link of pics to work?

 

I would love to get my hands on a ((I believe it's brand name is a STARCRAFT)) that was Ford's go to company and the reason they started the 140" wheelbase in the first place.

If I'm not mistaken Ford contracted that company to make special "CAMPERS" for the SCS and the reason Ford did the 140" on the SCS was because the slide-ins were becoming heavier at the time and Ford needed to displace the weight evenly, thus moving the spare tire location to the passenger side truck bed with the removable side panel
