Welcome to FTE Shawn, I take it from the subject line you are the proud new owner of a 78 F150. Pictures would be great, what sort of shape is it in, what engine etc. The more info you can get out the better.

3G 130-amp alternator swap
Lincoln Mark VIII or dual Taurus electric cooling fan

Both mods are relatively low-buck.
