Wink Babe, the Big Blue Ox

Hey there,
Brand new to the forum. I have a powder blue, 1984 Ford F-150, 6 cyl., with low miles...new to me...one owner before me. I need to get ideas on why it's idling rough. Changed the plugs. Not sure if I need to mess with the idle or if I even can. I've named her Babe, as in the Paul Bunyan story, hope that doesn't make me Paul Bunyan. Grew up with Fords, learned to drive at 11 on the farm in an old '64 Ford pickup. Last one I had before this was a '01 Ranger Edge, never really worked on it except to change oil. So, help!
Thanks,
Tina
