1973 Ford F350 (SWR) Super Camper Special
Vehicle Identification Number: F35HRR89703
In 1973, a new model was offered, the F-350 SRW (single rear wheel)
pickup. These were new special order heavy-duty pickups made with
contractors and camping enthusiasts in mind. The trucks rode on a
longer-wheelbase chassis but were the same overall length as an
F-100 or F-250 pickup. Ordering the Camper Special package
on an F-350 SRW made it a Super Camper Special which was designed
for the much heavier slide-in campers coming on the market at that
time. Only 800-850 of these Super Camper trucks were produced
by Ford from 1973-74 and very few in this condition are left on the
road today.
This particular truck has spent most of its life in dry arid
Arizona as evidenced by its solid floors, panels and fenders.
Painted in a stunning red with chrome bed rail covers and custom
wheels this truck stands out everywhere it goes whether it’s your
local car show, or a camping outing.
This F350 SWR is powered by a powerful Ford 390 2V engine.
The motor was recently overhauled and has all new gaskets &
seals. The carburetor was also rebuilt and battery is also
new. Truck starts and runs without a hitch. New window seals
were also recently installed. The truck features 3 gas tanks
with the OEM manual switch near the driver’s door for
changing tanks.
The Truck bed is wired for electricity with the original outlets
still wired and ready to go. The truck bed itself has seen
little use as evidenced in the pictures. The Bed side also
features a large compartment for storing and accessing the spare
tire. This is your chance to own a truly unique Ford Truck
you won’t find just anywhere.
Auction Estimate: $11,000-14,000
