GM changed to Camper Special in '73 because they started offering the Trailering Special. Since the body changed,they redesigned the emblems for the b-pillar and to list the GVW.

GMC made it confusing by using Custom Camper as the name for their 133" Wideside pickups. Both GMC and Chevy offered the Custom Camper equipment package on the 127"-157" trucks since before '68 when the 133" Fleetside/Widesides came out. So,you could have a Chevy Custom Camper Longhorn (133" Fleetside) as well as 127"(longbed) or 133"/157" (cab & chassis) Custom Camper of any trim level. With GMCs you could have a Custom Camper Custom Camper (133" Wideside) as well as 127"(longbed) or 133'/157" (cab & chassis) Custom Camper in any trim level. You could either have the trim level fender badge with a Custom Camper door script or order a Custom Camper fender badge with no markings for trim level. In other words,trucks that had a Custom Camper fender badge told nothing of the trim level. You had to look further.
