Super Camper Special HELP!!

My grandfather passed a way last year. Clearing his estate to sell. He has a 1974-75 f350 Super Camper Special with old 460.it has been sitting since 1999 inside a garage so no major rust. I want to get it up and running. Has 16.5 rims with old bi ply tires. Looking for information on maybe swap g to 16 in rims and maybe new tanks. Old tanks dont leak but I dont know if possible to get tanks clean or have to replace. I also think it had an exhaust leak. Any info I can get will greatly be appreciated.

Super Camper Special tanks are obsolete, very hard to find new. Take the fuel tanks to a radiator shop, they can be 'boiled out.' Removing the tanks is a lot of work, many people have to remove the bed.

Your F350 Super Camper Special has 9.50" x 16.5" 16 inch wheels using a 16.5" x 6.75" tire. Today, these tires are hard to find. Back then, bias plies were standard equipment.

Look for 1973/96 F250/350, 1997/98 F250 H/D & F350 or 1975/2013 E250/350 (Econoline) for replacement 16" wheels.

F250/350's went to metric wheels in 1999, but no Econoline of any year has metric wheels.
