I was looking for old trucks on eBay the other day because I had 10 minutes and I didn’t want to do something actually productive. I saw lots of awesome stuff. Trucks with great paint, cool stance, neat wheels, and then I saw this 1967 Dodge D200 camper special and I knew it was BangShifty love on wheels. Camper Special models showed up in the 1960s because slide in campers were getting very popular and people were overloading half ton trucks with the slide-ins and needed something more stout to handle the weight and girth of these ever growing campers.

Basically you have a three quarter ton truck with even beefier rear suspension to handle the weight of your domicile back there. That’s the good news. The bad news is that you still had drum brakes on the corners and a need to pay very close attention when going down grades with the truck. While we’re not sure what the engine in this one was from the factory, everything from the slant six, to small blocks, to a 258hp version of the 383 that was tuned for maximum torque from the factory. The truck you see now has a 360ci small block which is not original but it is a great candidate for stroker action and hot rodding. The transmission is a Torqueflite automatic.

We love this truck because of the overall look but we would do a few things to change that look. Gone would be the Alcoa style wheels on the truck. They are cool but just not cool here. Gone would be the wrecker boom only because it was placed there as a prop and is not functional. The Mack hood ornament would take a hike as well.

The interior looks great, all things considered and it is a perfectly spartan 1960s truck cab. We love that. The thing has the cool automatic shifter in the dash, a nice bench seat, and a suitably worn steering wheel. This was the era when a pickup was meant to be the worker bee of the family and not full of comforts and luxury. This Dodge was certainly that!
