yeah, i believe all of them came with at least a 14s/f axle....to handle the extra weight.

His is from the 70's man, it's got a 14FF./wwwthreads_images/icons/cool.gif

I'm not sure, but it should have uprated springs, bigger brakes, and I'd imagine some stuff to make it work better with a camper.

Mine has heavy duty breaks, 8400lb gvw, wiring harnesses for both a camper, and a trailer, and larger mirrors. I'm sure there's more to it than that, but thats all I have managed to find out.

What is a 14FF? How do I tell if I have one? How do I tell if this is actually an oringial camper special or not?

Thanks

A 14FF is a 14 bolt Full Floating axle, and I think you can identify it by the 14 bolts on the differential cover and big hubs sticking out of the rear wheels. There is also a 14 bolt semi-floating axle, but I don't know if it has the big hubs sticking out or not.

SF has no hubs, and wasn't available in the '70s. Is this what the Big 10 is?

An extra battery, 7 wire harness to the bed, and possibly the tranny and engine oil coolers and a bigger radiator. Sorry folks, that was it. You could get this with any GM 3/4 or 1 ton truck. They did not do anything speacial to the drive train, gear ratios etc. Not much different than a trailer pkg. All they do is add a hitch, wiring, and t/e coolers for it. Although on the trailer pkg the gearing does make a difference in what your GCWR ie how big a trailer you can pull would be. The g-ratio does not make a difference in the camper pkg, because your limiting factor is the gvw of the truck.
