I know the reservoir is a little low. Do you know what kind a power steering fluid I need?

You really need to go a local parts store and get a cheap Chilton or Hanes Ford truck repair manual. That will get you going in the right direction as far a learning basic things and general maintenance. It also has lots of pictures and that is what I use. lol Or you can even go to the local library to look at the actual paper book before you buy it. Remember those things before the internet and Kindle?
List: Repair Manual - General - 1979 Ford F-250 | O'Reilly Auto Parts
Do It Yourself (DIY) Auto Service Repair Manuals from Haynes
Also order a bunch of free 73-79 truck parts catalogs to lean item names, make it easier come time to go to the parts store. LMC, Jeffs Bronco Graveyard (78/79 Bronco's are the same front end and lots of interior parts), Macs, Dennis Carpenter, National Parts Depot ect...
