1997 f250 super duty no start

I just recently purchased a 1997 F250 Super Duty. It has 199,040 miles on it and everything seems to work. however this morning when I left for work it stalled on Me on the way out of the neighborhood. I turned it over numerous times and began to get white smoke but it didn't start. It has oil pressure, the tack is moving when I turn it over, the fuel heater is good, and the batteries are good.
