I should have never sold it ☹️

I’d love that opportunity but due to declining health and medical problems, I am no longer able to do that kind of work. I’ve owned every type of Mitchell except a fifth wheel. .

Totally understood. I'm sorry to hear that, I hope the best for you.

Hi Gustavo, if you can email me at [email protected], I’d be happy to discuss. I am planning to put it on Bring a trailer sometime this month unless it sells first. Thanks for your interest!

It had an alarm system installed by the original owner.

Hello Troy. Thank you for the nice compliment on the Ford. I’ve had interest of buying it from folks and I’ve tinkered with the idea of selling it for the past several years, only because it just sits in the garage and I don’t really have an interest in taking it to car shows anymore as my wife and I enjoy traveling during the summer now so we just aren’t around. I start her up every month and I might drive her around the block or so but that’s about it. I think I’ve put about 2500 miles on her over the past 12 years that I’ve owned it. Funny, I’ve changed the oil every year, mostly because I just like to tinker with it and get my hands greasy so I guess on average, she’s gotten an oil change every 200 miles. The oil is practically clear. Obviously I have t been in any hurry to sell her but I do think I am going to put her up for sale sometime at the beginning of the new year. If you are seriously interested, you can email me at [email protected] and I can provide you with more details, etc. Thanks for the interest and have a happy holiday!

Yes, you are right. It’s 8” back for a longer wheelbase which helped it have a 10K GVWR which competed with GM’s new 1 ton dually model for ‘73. Ford wouldn’t introduce a dually until the new model in 1980. The Super camper special also rode on a narrower rail chassis than any other Ford pickup, which was the same chassis for Ford’s motor homes Which did have dual wheels in the rear. It has an incredible payload. All sorts of strange little quirks with this truck which makes it a low production and rare truck. Thanks for watching!

Im only 45 years old but I remembered that from my dad and other older guys taking about the older vehicles and thanks for posting the video I enjoying watching what they did back then and when these young engineers do it now they think they are all that

Thank you for the compliment. It is a very nice truck. I’ve only seen one other that I thought was comparable, in regard to options, mileage, originality, and condition. Most aren’t loaded with XLT and 460 w/ac. I have been considering selling it for the past few years as it really just sits in the garage. I used to take it to local car shows but don’t have the energy any more due to some health issues. I’ve been told by many to put it on “bring a trailer” auction. I’m not really familiar with that. If you are interested, you can email me at [email protected]. Thanks!

Funny…I’ve been saying for the last 3 or 4 years that I’m going to sell it but here I am. People ask all the time but Obviously haven’t been in a hurry to do so. I just need to get off the pot and get it ready to sell.

Thanks for watching!

It won’t win any races with the 4.10 rear end but it’ll pull anything you have the nerve to hook to it! Thank you for watching and the comment!

Thank you!! It won’t win any races with the 4.10 rear end but it’ll pull anything that you’ve got the nerve to hook to it! 👍

I take that as a very nice compliment. Thanks!

Thank you!

Thanks for watching!

🤣😂

It was sold a few years back.

No, that would have been awesome.

It came with a Mitchell loading system but I replaced it with a Dynalift loading system which is almost the same. It has a rolling mechanism that is mounted on the end of the truck bed. It has 2 gears that line up with 2 tracks that are mounted on the bottom of the camper. The camper has 2 wheels on the rear camper bumper. You then turn the crank at the end of the truck bed and the gears pull the camper up onto the truck and it slides in. Reverse process to unload. It is quite slick and 1 person can do it easily. My father owned 2 Mitchells and he had the same loading system during the late 70's. I don't know why it didn't catch on but it's much easier than raising 3500 pounds into the air and then trying to pull the truck underneath, in my opinion.

Thank you. I do still own it and it remains in identical condition. I’ve only put about a total of 3K miles on it over the past 10 years. I’m actually considering selling it but we’ll see. Thanks for looking!

@@terry3193 - Remarkable! Unless you need the space or have your eyes on another vehicle, personally I'd be inclined to keep it. You'll probably never find another one that well-preserved and original. But, if you do sell it, BaT would probably be the place for that. F-Series fans would go gaga. You should do one of those POV walkaround/test drives on this truck. Since you've only put 3k miles on it, it sounds like it needs to have the cobwebs blown out anyway! 😂 (I'm sure there's no cobwebs anywhere near this truck)

Thanks 👍
