76 Camper Special ?'s

I just recently purchased a 76 F350 Super Cab Camper Special. It's got a 460/c6 and a Dana w 3.73s. I want to upgrade the wheels and am wondering what factory aluminum wheels would fit? Also which gas tank is considered the Main and which is the Aux? Also is there anyone who supplies the "western Jr. " style side mirrors? I'm trying to fix this thing up so I can use it as my daily beater.

I think Main is front and Aux is rear could be wrong though western style mirrors hmm try blue oval truck parts.com lmctruck.com dennis carpenter whole bunch of sites check the sponsers also you could find a set from a scrapyard that are in good shape that would work

I've seen those mirrors for sale on EBAY. As for the tanks; my 73 has two and my switch calls the saddle tank the main and the rear tank the auxillary.

Most Ford factory dual tank setups are set with the MAIN being the REAR tank and the AUX is the MIDSHIP tank. They do get switched around over the years tho...

Crazyeight.... I'm the original owner of a 1976, F350 Supercab camper special with 460/C6, and Dana 60 with 4.10 gears. From the factory, the rear tank is the main tank, and the side tank is the auxiliary. You can see mine in the gallery; album name: My 1976 Supercab

Ford offered replacement heads for those mirrors. If all you need are the heads, search for those only and save a buck.
