O M G This is not new, is just a forgotten ideas from the 50’s. I’m about to install one in a 2011 kia soul. The electric one is $500+, the mechanical is $50… so mechanical it is.

bro made gold and never showed how he made it

Very nice

Death trap

My mom bought my dad a brand new Ford F-250 Camper Special with a 390, automatic transmission and factory A/C top off with a over the cab 10'6" Mitchell Camper. It was a great truck except for the gas mileage 8mpg !

Great looking truck. Congrats.

I love the 71 and 72 Ford trucks. They r strong as an ox. I kind of like the 78 and 79 also

PLease help me and the rest of these people out on how you did this

Love that kickdown!

I know this video is damn near ten years old but if you're still on here I just wanted to see if I could get your permission to use your chassis concept on a custom-built of mine thanks.

Rolling start to 75. Ha. More like 90

Can you share a diagram ?

Very well, can you please explain how you have clamped the Bowden cable and how you solve it again. I would be very grateful. Great idea, super easy. TOP. I would like to build something like that for my F-100 from 1969, THANK YOU !

Love the sunset, where'd you take the vid? Great car!

She got a bit hot.

Nice job! What size are the tires? I'm about to purchase a 71 camper special. I like the way they fill the wheel well

I'm curious to see how you made it. Nice work

Had a 73 f 250 3/4 ton ext bed 2-dr, 390 3 spd 2 wheel drive

Nice work. Too bad it would only work on relatively flat roadways.

I like, did you ever add the break release?.

I got a 71 with a 360 in it I bet when you stomped it you could watch the gas gauge creep towards empty

What did you use for the chassis

Wish you would show how you fitted it.

needs mid tites and a lift or else itll look like a 2wd like it does in this video

Awesome. I wish I could have it on my car.

Nice. I'm thinking about getting one =D

wow

hey bud love the build how hard was the body work I want to make a 86 Ford crew cab fleetside truck I did light body work before would this be too much or not.iam.a very fast learner

Thank goodness there's still a few of us that like to preserve them as they were. I have a '69 F250. It is not a camper special. Coincidently I have chosen the Ford blue that yours is (mine's originally a light baby blue which I don't care for) Should be on the road next summer. I don't do the Edelbrock thing as its not a Ford part. Oh---I notice your fuel gauge was getting close to E (eek!!!) ummm, don't think I'd trust it that low while stepping on it, LOL.

Thank you for posting this video...I may end up buying one (1972 F100 2WD) I found one for 800 dollars...

awesome.how did you do that?

Sweet looking truck. I've always liked the 1971 and 72 Ford F series trucks. :)

Plz more vids of this og 58028 Hilux !! Wanna sell it im looking for one? Thanks

I love it. Amazin truck

Glad to see the truck returned back to the correct "factory look".

I f-hate these rc vids

Classy looking truck, that 390 sounds good! Looks like she flat gets with it and gose.

That suspension bounce still makes me smile, 4 years after my first comment!

An on-board video soon?

Thanks! The exhaust has been replaced, but no upgrades or modifications have been made to it, other than headers. I don't know torque or hp on it, somewhere in the ballpark of 300hp, but I have no idea. MPG at 7000 ft is around 10 and at sea level around 17mpg. As far as cost goes, the engine was about $3000 and the bodywork and paint was about $5000. Might I suggest Maaco as a cheaper alternative for bodywork and paint. Depending on how bad the sheet metal is on your truck (ie. rust, dents, etc.), a paint job from there would set you back about $500-$700. You do get what you pay for, however. I also had my engine stripped down and rebuilt from the ground up. It's basically a new engine. If your engine runs fine, I wouldn't worry too much about going too far into it. I'm all about reliability. Good luck on your resto!

I love the truck, glad to see it restored. Is that the stock exhaust? How much HP and Torque now? How is the MPG? And, if you don't mind me asking. How much did the restoration cost? I have one and I want to restore it. I have the same engine and transmission, but mine is a Ranger/Camper Special.

my favourite years for Ford trucks are 1971 and 72, and 1976 and 77. All Camper Special or Super Camper Special.

What's the song?

Lets c that camper in that glass cabinet.

Nice sounding engine.

Sweet truck. I've always liked Camper Special trucks, because they're built to withstand the heavy load, like either hauling a camper on the bed of the truck, or if one were so inclined, tow a travel trailer behind.

I remember my first rc truck

great work ,looks good

Awesome work !

Looks like Medford Oregon
