First truck

So I just got my first real truck its my second vehicle my first was a 1994 ford explorer traded for this truck it is a 1988 Ford F350 got a 300 I-6 5 speed transmission i believe it has the 4.10 ratio in the rear end regular cab and long bed needs some work timing work clutch adjustment and it has a issue with fueling it when you put the gas in about a dollar in it comes almost spilling out the neck so it takes like 20 minutes for $20 its ridiculous and needs a new rear tank easy fix stuff will post up some pictures tomorrow i will need some help later due to the previous owner removing the a/c components and possibly heat to so i think i have vacuum lines going to nothing but it runs and drives fine going to my daily driver in two days time since i need it to go to work.

Thanks. i got the timing issue fixed turns out didn't tighten the distributor also had to replace the solenoid due to it being burnt up from a loose connection and the negative battery cable was loose i'm wondering what else he didn't tighten down on it.
