Hey everyone, thanks for having me here. A little introduction on the truck, it's a 1986 F350 dually, with the 460 engine. Originally a custom C/C (not sure what was custom about it).

Anyways, I picked it up less than a week ago and it ran super rough! Under my control, it doesn't run anymore haha.

I drove it home approximately 300 miles and averaged 7.8 mpg.  It's had an oil change, and the full lube package and tune up.

In the days since, I have removed the carburator, because it was missing a choke, swapped the spark plug wires and plugs, put in a group 31, 950 cca battery and am replacing fuel and coolant hoses that are leaking in the engine bay.

In the next few days, I hope to have the new carb installed and get it 6 new/used wheels that don't leak and are dry rotted (like it has now).

Well, that's about it for her, any questions?

Adam - Again, welcome!  (Do you want me to move your other thread about the fuel fillers into the main section?  More people may see it there.)

You've come to the right place as we love to help people, and we have a lot of experience with these trucks.  (As well as more documentation than anywhere else.  )

So, as you learn your way around here you'll probably want to start a thread, again in main section, that documents what you do to and with your truck.  And, feel free to chime in on the What Have You Done To Your Truck Today thread, where we just chit chat.  (Wait!  We chit chat in most threads.  )
