Hello to all! Hope I joined the BC Chapter (thru Forum tools) correctly... We have a 'family' '76 F250 Camper Special with the 460/C6. Bought it for $100 2 years ago and have replaced alot of components.... Now am replacing the unrebuildable fuel pump and fiddling with the autochoke. It's bloody unfortunate that Ford didn't use the rebuildable X type pumps that were on high perf Mustangs!

The cabmount at driver's side front is rusted out and the driver's floor boards are gone. Other than that she runs fine except she needs new rubber bushings on the front suspension control arms.

We are from Vancouver but the truck works on an island off the Sunshine coast.

 

Welcome to the site, What island does the truck work on?

 

Welcome to the BC zoo. You will enjoy your time spent here. Lots of great information and some humor on the side.

 

Bandit-1: It's on Gambier island - very damp and the truck isn't used enough...

 

Hey!!! I just noticed you have been here longer than I have.

 

Yesterday accidentally looked in the mirror with my specs on....Jeez what a shock! You're right, I have been here for a very long time.

 

Thanks for posting Mr fixit Bout time ya got back on here!!

 

I've never belonged to this Chapter - just been hiding until now. Yesterday saw a '77 F250 (rusty, dirty, 4 spd with a 400/propane) The owner said he'd call me with a price. The Mrs. was sitting right in the car while I sniffed around the truck and said nothing!!! Amazing, thought I'd at least get: "not another wreck!". Guess after 32years of wedded bliss, she's given up resistance...

 

Sounds like a pretty sweet truck!
