Welcome from central California. Pictures? Also, it may have been a miss type, you stated it had a 5.0L 350. Did you mean 5.0L 305 or a 5.7L 350.

In the small block family a 5.0L is 305 cubic inches. A 5.7L is 350 cubic inches. So just curious which engine it has?

No problem. The diamond plate with the black tanks looks good. It's a little strange with the stacks, here most people only put stacks on if it's a diesel engine. Not to bad looking tho, color is nice.

Sharp looking truck, greetings from Wales. Uhh, that'd be Wales, Massachusetts, not Wales, UK.  Cheerio.

Welcome from North Idaho, impco lpg!

I would love to hear more about your truck. Left hand drive or RHD? How does a truck of that vintage manage to find its way to York? What do your mates think of it?
