New to Posting but have been stalking the forum for about a year, bought my 05 EX 6.0 last December and love it and hope I can pick up little bit of all the knowledge that is floating around here

Hello all!
New owner of a 75 F100 with a 360, NP435 and NP205... my first Ford of any kind as I’ve previously owned German cars, currently own a Model 3 as a daily, a RAV4 as a family car and a 95 M Edition Miata as a weekend fun car.
The truck has been a life long dream to get (and a symbol of Americana for a European immigrant) - friend recently got an old Nissan truck to futz with and this kinda tipped the scale for me.
She’s a bit rough around the corners, leaks from... everywhere on the bottom - power steering cylinder, pan, front diff, tranny, tf, rear diff... but fairly solid nonetheless and drives fairly well! In plan to take care of the mechanics first, finish restoring the interior and correcting some... issues... and then enjoy the heck out of it until it’s time to start working on the body.
This brings me to my main question - any recommendations for shops in the Pleasanton/Dublin/Livermore area that can service this gal? While I’m mechanically inclined - I think I’m already pushing the envelope with my HOA by having 4 vehicles... 😂
edit: I’m blind and didn’t see the thread with list of shops... oops!
Thanks
