73 f250 camper or not?

brianpwalker · 09-04-2006, 06:12 PM

i got a 73 f250 2wd with the 360 v8. its got stabiliser bars on the front and back and i wanna find out if this makes it a camper special or not. i'm gonna put headers on it but i can't find any for the camper special. if the stabilizer bar is the only difference than i guess it can go and regular headers will fit.
any info on campers would be appreciated.

Camper special was just a option package. It did also add the stabelixer bars but they could have also been added by someone over the years. A camper special also usually has the tool box built into the bed. It might have also had a 2nd gas tank but I'm not positive on that one.

I say go for the headers for the regular truck but make sure you can return them "just in case"

i got looking and it did have a second tank but the box sides were replaced and the front tank removed which might be the reason that the toolbox is missing (which i was also wondering about). thanks for the feed back
