This Ford F-Series 1961-1966 got away, but there are more like it here.

This 1966 Ford F-250 is a Custom Cab Camper Special pickup that is finished in red and white over gray vinyl and patterned cloth upholstery and is powered by a 352ci V8 linked to a three-speed automatic transmission and Dana 60 rear axle. The truck is said to have been registered in California from new until it was acquired by the current owner in 2022, and subsequent work reportedly included overhauling the engine and reupholstering the bench seat. Additional equipment includes white 16″ wheels, bright trim and badging, a diamond-plate rear step bumper, a tow ball, an Edelbrock four-barrel carburetor, an HEI distributor, and a Kenwood Bluetooth CD player. This F-250 Camper Special is offered by the selling dealer on consignment in Massachusetts for the current owner, a licensed retail Massachusetts dealer, with a clean California title.
