Head gasket ?
Hey, got 1967 f100, 352 fe.
truck runs good no leaks or anything unusual. Today I checked as usual the dipstick and saw milky liquid while reaching pretty dang high on the stick. What my options from here and how I’m certain about what can it be? Thank yiu

Could be intake or heads leaking. You can run a test on your coolant to see if you are getting gasses in your radiator. A leak down test possibly as well but the only real way to know what's going on is tear it down and inspect everything.

so something odd, I ran it for a good 10-15 min. Checked dip stick again.. nothing. Looks like solid oil now.
make sense?

This time of year, condensation can be an issue. These old engines don't have the same quality PCV systems as newer cars. If it only shows at the top of the dipstick and not all the way down to the end in the oil, you are probably ok. Yet another reason to change oil often on vehicles that you don't drive much.
