Camper Special started in 73. 65-72 are Custom Campers, even though the SPID RPO is occasionally listed as “Special Camper”.

Lug count is only dependent on whether the truck is a C10 (5 lug in 72), K10 (6 lug in 72) or C/K20,C30 (8 lug).

Custom Camper option (Z81) was actually available on 1/2 ton trucks for some years.

FF rears are a 3/4 ton or above thing, not necessarily related to Z81 option.
Having said all that, MOST Custom Campers, by far, were 3/4 ton or above for the GVWR bump that came above a 1/2 ton.
