1975 F250 Camper Special - Custom (?) Cab.
2wd, 460, C6 AT.
Mileage = 73,XXX which is likely 273,XXX.
I believe my father was the 2nd owner and gave it to me in 2004. It had the motor rebuilt about 10 years ago. Not the best job IMO, but I think I will pull the heads off and have them rebuilt, install Hedman headers, dual exhaust all the way out...and, I am thinking about installing this...
Edelbrock 2166PK Edelbrock Performer Power Packages
I just received my new steering linkage and will be installing it shortly. A new air cleaner, vacuum lines, hoses, wires, plugs, valve covers, gaskets, fuel filter, fuel pump, and a water pump are all on the list for the next few months as well.
After spending 3+ years playing around with my import - carburetors, a V8 and no catalytic converters are really new to me. Needs a lot of TLC - it was in pretty good condition when I got it, but I have used it for landscaping and really ran the crap out of it.
My plan is to make it a strong, solid running truck with a mean sounding exhaust and better performance that it has now.
As for the outside, I actually like the scratched, rough and dinged body that has become known as Big Brown.

Add me to the list; 1978 F350 SC Camper special XLT, 460, air, cruise, vanity mirror, I think the only thing missing is the tilt and it may have been there originally. It was missing some parts to the dual battery set up when I purchased it but just installed a tray I found at P&P and will be getting to the rest soon.
