Hello,

I have 1984 full size Bronco with a camper conversion. I was told it was one of the first Ford authorized conversions. Can anyone tell me how to get information on this to see if in fact it is true. I wrote to Ford and got nowhere but a form letter. I have called Ford and I get no where. The VIN is 1FMEU15FXELA77683.

Haha, that's not a Ford camper. That's an early Four Wheel Camper. Check this out: https://fourwheelcampers.com/company/our-story-the-history-of-pop-up-truck-campers/

Contact these guys, maybe Stan at FWC https://fourwheelcampers.com/

They're (arguably) the best pop-up camper made, them and All Terrain Campers. If that's your Bronco and camper, you have a unicorn, no joke. It's f*cktastic.

Edited to add: Is this a joke? Really, you're pulling our chain, right? It's too cool to be real and not know what you have. I'm guessing you also have some sort of Colt revolver made sometime around 1873, a painting by some guy who's name you can't pronounce PeeCas-O, etc., etc.? I'm sorry if I sound sarcastic, I'm just excited to see pics of an early FWC Bronco.

No joke. Not pulling anyone's chain. Help me here. I am not saying it's a Ford camper but I was told exactly, " First installation of a pop up camper in a Bronco and approved by Ford with the use of Bronco-nameplate". Is there any way to confirm this? And please tell me what I have!

@bkelley123 It's not a Ford camper. It's a Four Wheel Camper. I put the info in my original post. F*cktastic is good, great, unimaginable to those who appreciate Four Wheel Campers. You have a unicorn. NEVER sell it.

Edited to add: FWC is on the west coast, Woodland Hills just north of Sacramento. It's about as far away from you as you can get (used to be made in Colorado). There are a handful of those, well, maybe slightly more than a handful.

You need to take a road trip, to Oregon, so I can see it in person. I'll be standing by for the date and time of your arrival. Thanks.

It's not worth much, maybe a few hundred bucks. I'll give you $500 right now though because I like you. You remind me of someone, and although I shouldn't let myself overpay just because of that, just tell me where to send the check. I wouldn't advertise it anywhere, cuz it's really not worth enough to justify spending the $20 on an online ad. Just sell it to me, really quick, and that way you don't have to look at the old thing taking up space in that amazing garage of yours. You're welcome.

Edited to add: I don't normally get excited about stuff, or jealous of other people's stuff, but I want that real bad. I don't have any money to buy it, but I'd drool over that all day long. It's sexy.
