Hi from Oklahoma

Hi, I'm James. I have a 1971 F-250 Sport Custom Camper Special with the 360. It is Sea Foam Green. I will try to get some pics of it up later today. It is pretty much all original except for a few minor things - steering wheel has been changed by someone along the way (I will find an original to put back in there), chrome air cleaner that I'll probably keep in it and a few other little things.

Things that I will be looking for: It has the tank behind the seat but someone has removed the one under the bed so I am on the lookout for one of those. Bench seat is pretty rough on the drivers side so I have already found a replacement for it along with a glove box insert from a '72.

Wanted: a line on some 8 lug wheels, not too fancy but all matching.

Need to diagnose: My drivers side exhaust blows white smoke that increases in intensity at weird times - like it smokes more when I get low on fuel???? And less on a full tank. Sometimes it smokes til it get warmed up then stops and sometimes it doesnt smoke until it gets warmed up.

Added by me: For fun, it has dual horns from a 1937 Dodge D-5 Sedan. Wish I could find a way to use the headlights too but I don't want to change the truck that much.

Well that's enough for now - Thanks to Steve Raney AKA Foghorn for pointing me towards this site.

Pics of the new dash installed and new black and crome work.
I need to hurry up and replace that steering wheel! The chrome looks pitted in the pic but it is not.
