My dad gave me his truck, it was a work truck and is beat up really bad. I'm trying to restore it a little bit and make it a nice truck again. it wil ljust be a "farm truck" so i'm not going crazy with this

I can not find much info on the below issues:!

BED
It really needs a new/used bed, where can i get one? is it cost effective? don't really care on the color reg cab 8 foot bed

Seat
I need a new seat, the foam is hanging out and it smells like gas/oil and trees lol

GAS filling
it will not take gas, have to use a funnel and slowly fill it, i'm talking not even one click on the pump!, takes easily 20-30 minutes to fill the tank from 1/4 full witch is about 25-26 gallons

 

Just a farm truck? Make a flat bed, get a seat cover, and get the kink out of the fuel filter hose. Just a suggestion

 

Not sure where you're located but out here in California where rust hasn't been invented yet I'm always finding beds on craigslist. I would also look there for your seat.


FUEL FILL


Most likely it's the vapor canister. 05 - 07 F250's had this problem in dusty or dirty conditions. Here's a link to a posted FTSB about the problem:


06-19-15***SLOW FUEL FILL


Rockauto.com has the best prices on the complete assembly $230.00 BUT I removed my vapor canister & back blew both the air box and the carbon canister part at work. I actually taped 2 separate air nozzles to each one and let it run the entire work day. I can now lock the fuel fill nozzle on the slowest fill setting & walk away while my tank fills. - To drop your Vapor Canister you will need to drop your spare tire, remove the spare tire hoist assembly (4 bolts if I remember correctly) and if you look up you can see the Vapor Canister assembly mounted crossways from frame rail to frame rail. Another 4 bolts and it comes out. On the drivers side where the vapor line connects to the air box there's a connector right at the frame you will need to disconnect. If you clean it off you will see a green plastic squared off horseshoe release - Press down at the top and pull the Vapor Canister rearward. Hope this information helps.
