Look on the B pillar below the door striker plate for the white Safety Standards Certification Label. It was originally glued on.

The Warranty Plate is located on the face of the left door below the latch.

clems78: There is no such thing as a Super Camper Special after 1976, as Ford dropped 'Super' from the name at the end of the 1976 model run.

So as to not confuse the buyer that they were buying a Super Cab Camper Special, the Super Cab had come out two years prior, in 1974. But everyone here already knows all this.

1973/79 F350's on the 140" wheelbase: 1973/76 Regular Cab Super Camper Special / 1973/79 Regular Cab Trailer Special / 1977/79 Regular Cab Camper Special.

Ford dropped Super from the name at the end of the 1976 model run.

1973 only: D3TZ-16720-W .. Super Camper Special Emblem, right/left is the same.

1974/76 only: D4TZ-16720-D .. Super Camper Special Emblem, right/left is the same.

1977/79 only: D7TZ-16720-AD .. Camper Special Emblem, right/left is the same.

Race Track (R/T) side mouldings were introduced in 1977. Came standard equipment on F100/350 Ranger XLT's in 1977, F100/350 Ranger XLT's and Lariats 1978/79.

Bronco's were also available with R/T's in 1978/79.

These mouldings were very popular when introduced. People that owned plain jane 1973/79 Customs and Rangers waltzed into the parts depts, bought all of the mouldings, installed them on their trucks.

What are the outward appearance differences between 1973/75 and 1976/77? The grille inserts are the same 1973/75, 1976/77's are slightly different. The grille shell is the same 1973/77.

1973/76 Stylesides have exposed fuel caps, 1977/79's have fuel doors.

"Fish mouth" grille introduced in 1978.

1973, 1974's before serial number T80,001: The parklamps and taillamps have separate lenses, screws retain the lenses to the metal bodies, the sockets are swagged into the bodies.

1974 from serial number T80,001, 1975/79 have one piece molded plastic parklamps and taillamps. The individual sockets twist into the lamps.

The one piece F100/350 taillamps are the same as 1975/91 Econoline and 1978/79 Bronco. The only difference is a seal that peels off.

Wow lots of wasted time typing over a comment that had nothing to do with you. So thanks for taking a light hearted jab at other year trucks out of context and turning into a very educational but unnecessary show of your vast knowledge of scs and all things ford truck. All hail the king of the ford truck info stuff!!!

If you want the production figures for 1978/79 F350 140" wheelbase Camper Specials, you'll have to get this info from martiauto.com. Marti doesn't give out this info for free, so be prepared to pay whatever his fee is.
