Camper Special advert Ford Times July 1965

Mid-century, Ford offered its industry-first Camper Special package on 1965 F-100 and F-250 pickup trucks.

Fast forward a few decades, to when Ford Motor Company used its long lineage of helping customers explore the great outdoors to offer its industry-first Camper Special package on 1965 F-100 and F-250 pickup trucks. With a Twin-I-Beam front suspension and a Flex-O-Matic rear suspension, these trucks could haul a heavy-duty camper and allow enthusiasts to explore the great outdoors while still enjoying modern comforts.

The Camper Special package also included a heavy-duty radiator, battery, and springs, with optional SelectAire conditioning and SelectShift Cruise-O-Matic transmission to ensure a smooth, comfortable ride. Camper Special and Super Camper Special packages would eventually extend to include F-350 pickups and were available through the 1979 model year.
