New Member from Wisconsin
Howdy,
I am a new member to the site from south eastern WI.
I bought a beautiful 1970 F250 Campers Special last month from a older man who brought the truck up from OK a couple years ago. It sat in shed for 15-20 years in OK. Only 56,000 miles. It will need a paint job eventually, but I am just going to sand and prime the surface rust for now until I can afford a proper paint job.
It runs great. 360 V8 with Cruise-O-Matic Trans.
So far I have given the truck a tune up, oil and filter change, new fuel filter, new rear marker lights, valve cover gaskets, fixed a fuel leak by the carb intake, and replaced the aftermarket mirrors with some more proper Ford west coast mirrors I found on e-bay.
I am looking for an Aux. fuel tank. It is missing on my truck.
