Marti charges a fee for info like this, you have to contact him and ask how much.
And btw: There are no codes within the VIN or stamped on the Warranty Plate that decode to a Camper Special.

I agree with you, about there is nothing that specifically says in the VIN decode. However as you begin to work through the truck, and bring her back to life there are certain tells, that point you in the direction of letting you know she is a camper special . Sometimes she has a badge, sometimes it's the two battery bays in the engine compartment, and on the rare occasion she still has her original book she came with from the dealership. Thank you for letting us know where to find the other info.

The Owners Manual was provided by FoMoCo, not by the dealerships.

Camper tie downs only came with trucks if they were equipped w/a FoMoCo over the roof camper, also available at the parts counter.

This harness was placed inside the glove box at final assembly.

I would think that the rarest Camper Special would be a '79 F350 Supercab 4X4 one. I have one of these trucks, and according to my Marti report, it's a Trailer Special. I had never heard of a Trailer Special until I became a member of this page about 6 years ago. My truck has a flatbed on it, so the original tailgate with the Trailer Special emblem is long gone. Can anyone tell me what the difference is between a Camper Special and a Trailer Special?
