I am not big on the 6's. I thought they had chains too.
Are you using coolant when you drive?
White smoke can also be excessive condensation in the exhaust too. Does it go away as you drive.
This Obama gas we have is hydroscopic. Or at least I believe is the right term. It absorbs water, and can make engines run horrid till you flush out the old gas. Plus it can clog the passages in your carbs like nothing I have seen before. Besides marine motors. So if your only go to putt around in your truck I would not fill it up. Just hit the has station up to put in what you need or plan to use in the next month. This way your always freshening up the gas.
Maybe someone has experience with sta-bil, but I have not used it.
You may need to do what has been called a Italian tune up. Get it good, and hot. Drive it hard so it blows out the carbon, and everything frees back up. My mom's old cars would respond very well to this since she has always drove slow.
Then do like I said with the leak down, and compression test. Then you can decide if you want to freshen up this engine, and save money by now. Or rebuild it to what ever standards you want.
