if its only on start up then most likely your valve stem seals are gone and need replacing, luckily you can do this without removing the cylinder head

Mine does it unbelievably bad, esp when it is cold.

My problem is al the vege oil i run in it and when she warms up its all good.

I wouldnt worry, not worth spending money on an old truck
