I just signed up as a new member and I'm looking forward to hearing from some experts out there....

I recently bought a 1986 F-150, 61,000 miles, Arizona truck, no rust but was in storage for a ling time and not driven. Super straight body. Long bed. XL 2 door regular cab.

300 CI inline 6 with a 4 speed. Lots of old cracked vacuum lines under the hood and it doesn't seem to idle very well....

Looking to turn it into a nice daily driver.
