I'm gonna fix this up so you get help Mike. NO shortage on threads around here, so try to keep your topics in the right categories. It not only gets you the best help, it help others find the same info. Try to title a thread pertaining to your issue also is a big help. Many times, the people who help just zero in on what they feel confident about and you'd get skipped with a vague title like "Need Help" I'm seperating your questions into their respective categories. Help will be along much quicker this way.

Camper Special usually included things like stronger rear springs, a sway bar, camper wiring, steeper gears, etc.

Also had a tad higher GVWR if I remember too. Not sure what years, but Camper Special also had the old wood bed style in squares too. Maybe just 73 and 74.

Where the camper specials the same as a trailering special??? My 79 3+3 says 3+3 then under it trailing special 12,000 gvwr, the spring pack in the rear is insane and when yea come off a curb its like not having rear suspension at all lol but on the highway drives like a caddy suprizingly enough

They were similar packages, but not the same.
