Up for auction is our all original 1974 Ford F-350 Camper Special. This truck has stood the test of time and was used sparingly since day one. Being 44 years old and only having 59600 original miles, this all original survivor this truck is one of very few left in this condition. Believed to be a one owner for over 40 years and stored in a collection.
Camper Specials were work horses and typically hauled big heavy loads and were basically used up beyond repair. This truck was never subjected to that use, it was preserved and maintained to its fullest since new and always stored in a climate controlled garage.
Highly optioned from the factory with; high torque 460 Big Block (has a newer Holley 4-barrel carburetor), HD C-6 automatic, Dana 70 differential with 3.73:1 ratio- limited slip, power brakes with front disc and four piston calipers, power steering, A/C installed at the factory, tow hitch package, western mirrors, cruise control, deluxe interior, two tone paint, Ranger trim package. The “Camper Special” package included; longer wheel base for a better hauling balance, sway bars, heavy duty springs with rear overloads, bed side mounted spare tire, wide rear wheels, engine/transmission/steering coolers, HD cooling system radiator and dual fuel tanks. The camper shell is a Ford Dealer installed, Ford branded shell. The inside of the bed is covered with a bed mat and is nearly flawless. The grill guard, running boards and rock guards are all aftermarket installed when the truck was new.
The exterior condition is nearly flawless. Beautiful paint and body that looks new, but is all original. The trim, brightwork and glass is perfect and like new. The interior is the same. Maintained perfectly and looks new. Under the funky seat cover is the original seat that is absolutely like new and has been covered since new. Door panels, headliner, carpet, dash and dash pad are all perfect. Never smoked in or had pets inside. The interior is beautiful. The engine compartment is highly maintained and looks great. No leaks or any mechanical issues of any kind. The undercarriage is rust free and very clean with no leaks either. Everything in this truck works as it should except the A/C needs a recharge, the heater blower motor squeaks and the auxiliary fuel tank gauge does not work. Otherwise everything works great. The original spare tire has never even touched the ground.
If you are looking for a highly optioned and interesting truck from the 70’s, then this is the truck for you. It’s all original and very reliable. Driving this truck is fun and comfortable. Lots of thumb-ups along the way. Rides smooth and is very tight with no rattles or squeaks. I’ve been a eBay member for 17 years with 100% feedback.
