smoke

I have a 86 1 ton that has an older 350 in it. The other day it started smoking (bad). It doesn't smell like oil, anti freeze or gas. What else could it be?

thanks

what color is the smoke? I'm assuming it's smoking out the exhaust?

White, really thick. I'm not seeing excess bubbles in the radiator.

Watch your oil level and the coolant level, one of them will go down. White would indicate coolant, but thick sounds more like oil.

Ha, Got a good one for you. My brother (who owns half the truck and drove it last) put diesel in it. So now I got to drop the tank and clean it out.
thanks for the help.

That would do it. That was a good one. Made me laugh.
