Re: My New Truck

I thought I would share this since I just recently learned this:

A fellow C10 guy approached me and stated that my Truck has a "Special Deluxe" Camper Special package that was NOT the base model package. So after some searching I have found the GM document which supports such.

As this 3/4 ton Camper Special Package has some different options than other Camper Specials, all of which were factory installed.

1) rear shocks in the BED of the Truck that are attached to the cab,
2) tie down hooks with bolts and brackets to fasten a camper to frame of the truck through holes in the side of the pickup bed, (with grommets around the holes).
3) Front fender shock mounts to bolt shocks to the front overhang of the camper.

Gm Titles this:

Also includes Elimi-Pitch Package consisting of rear stabilizer, horizontal shock absorbers mounted between cab rear panel and pickup box sides panels, vertical shock absorbers brackets mounted on front fenders plus vertical shock absorbers shipped loose for dealer or owner installation.

I guess this package is labeled the z83 "Deluxe" Camper Special Package. Versus the base Camper Special package of z81.

See RPO sheet.
