1973 Ford F-350 Super Camper Special Truck

Description

Up for sale is a very rare 1973 F-350 Super Camper Special Truck. It is estimated that only approximately 2500 of these trucks were built between 1973 and 1979. This truck has an extended wheelbase of 140 inches. The rear axle is set back approximately 8 inches further than a standard pickup and the truck box is specially designed to accommodate this. The special design gives a spare tire compartment on the passenger side of the truck bed and allows the truck to better carry the additional weight of a slide-in camper. The truck has the original tie-down brackets for a slide-in camper located under the front and rear of the box.

The truck only has 50,484 original miles on it! The truck has dual fuel tanks, an original AM radio, power steering, power brakes, a 360-V8 engine, and a 4 speed manual transmission. It does not have air conditioning. This truck was examined by a local body man. The truck is solid and there is very limited surface rust. There is very, very light hail damage on the hood. I never even noticed it until I took it to the body shop. There is a dent in the front bumper as seen in the pictures. There are other small dings as would normally be expected with 50,000 miles of use around a farm. As you can see in the photo, the seat appears to be in excellent condition. We pulled the seat cover back for the picture as far as we have ever pulled it back. The seat cover appears to have been put on fairly soon after the truck was first purchased.

I bought this truck in 2007 and only drove it that summer. I put it inside my building in the fall of 2007. I have started it up and driven it around the block several times a year simply to exercise the truck and keep it in good shape. Prior to me purchasing the truck, it had been in a shed for approximately 2 - 3 years.

Again, this is a very rare, very solid truck. This truck would be a dream come true to anyone that would like to completely restore a truck. To the best of my knowledge, everything except the mirrors and the tires are original. It runs great, drives great, shifts great, brakes great, and is ready to go. It is a quiet, smooth running 44-year old truck! The only reason I am selling this truck is because I need more room in my shop. Average NADA Blue Book is $15,000, and the high end lists at $27,000. We would let it go for $12,500 just to make room in my shop.
