Nice find. If I were local, I'd buy it just because it's rust free and a rarity of a bed. You don't see those to often in that good of shape. Also, it makes me wonder how many nice rust free beds were used as trailers in their days and now are either just sitting by someones barn or have rotted away to nothing.

Great find. It's nice to see there still are some solid beds out there. Now I just need to find a truck to fit it.

Yeah, it's where the spare tire is.

Man I would loooooooooove to have that bed. I've always wanted to convert a SCS to a 4x4, now add that to an 8 ft flareside bed, and I'd have some very unique rigs. Now I just need the rest of the trucks...haha. And yes that is a spare tire door, the wheel base for a SCS or 77-79 CS is 140"

If I were closer, Id buy it just to have. Then I just got to convince my neighbor to sell his 77 f350 flat bed and Id be in business

Yes, it's different. Texasrho83 has the toolbox on his bed, but the wheelbase is the same. The Camper Special bed has that spare tire door and the fender arches are set back further on the bed for the longer wheelbase of the Camper Special. Take a closer look at both beds and you can clearly see the difference. Only those beds with the "big door (spare tire)" have the different wheelbase and won't fit most long bed trucks.

Yes it is different than the bed you, TexasRho, and I have.

Just to expound on this a little bit, pre-77 it was called a SUPER camper special that had the 140" wb bed, then in 77-79, you could find the same bed, but they dropped the Super, and just called it a camper special.
