Irrelevant, the old Super was a regular cab and you’re comparing it to a four door.
Even the regular cab wheelbase is longer in 2018 at 141.2.
It seems you guys are implying the model from the 70s is ready to haul the largest camper. Apparently, you also haven’t look at the overhang of them. Even a Super Cab requires a shorter antenna or some other mod to keep from hitting the overhang.
Nice to think of the good old days, but they weren’t all that ... Camper Special wasn’t that special if you compare it to newer models. If you would carry a 5000 lb camper on the Camper Special, you can do the same with the newer Ford.
As far as COG goes, it still doesn’t matter since it is something you can’t impact other than moving your stuff around when you pack. All Long Bed TCs are still designed for Long Bed trucks.
