Big Ride: 1971 Ford F350 Crew Cab Camper

I hope this next vehicle isn’t an ex-Burning Man car. There isn’t enough Lysol on the planet to remove the funk of a week of swinger-burner hippies from the cloth inside this long wheelbase camper. But this car is so cool that I might skip the hazmat suit for the experience and just enjoy the ride. Find this 1971 Ford F350 Crew Cab Camper bidding for $12,700 reserve-not-met in Miami, FL via ebay motors.

… and not a single picture inside the back. Maybe that’s a good thing.
On eBay, there are 8 photos of the four front seats but not one photo of what’s behind them (which should tell you something.)
Per the listing, “it recently accomplished a road trip spanning over 900 miles, further proving its endurance.” I’ve got some bad news for you buddy — it is 842 miles from Apache Junction, AZ to Black Rock City, NV. This thing absolutely went to Burning Man 2023. Maybe that’s why there are no pictures of the camper interior.
The seller can really pile the BS deep!
Great for parallel parking.
Good candidate for a retro rod redo? Drop in a 6.7 tubo diesel and 10 speed tranny?
Interior from a newer F series maybe.
A power wash inside & out?
