1967 Ford F350 Truck Crew Cab 4 door
Converted to Run on LP Gas
This Ford truck was a complete frame-up restoration with a couple of additional features. The engine and fuel delivery system were converted so it runs on standard gasoline or LP Gas and a new A/C system was installed from VINTAGE AIR™.
