Introduction
Hi all! Just bought a 1978 F150 custom, 2 wheel drive. Has been parked for the last 2 years. I just briefly started it to verify it run. I know I need to change all the fluids to start with. I've been reading everything I can from the forums. What a wealth of information from all you!

Welcome
Welcome and thanks for the photos. As you know, the forum is a great source of information. If you plan on keeping and working on the truck yourself, you could get a set of truck shop manuals for the correct year. When you put in engine oil, be sure to get one that accommodates the flat lifters. It should be a great project. Best wishes.
It would also be nice to have an owner's manual.

The few times I drove through PA up 81 N, when I was younger, I would always get a kick out of that sign when I would see "WELCOME TO PENNSYLVANIA, AMERICA STARTS HERE." hehe
