Help needed!!!

Not sure if I've got this sorted, but...hello from OZ (aka Great Southern Land, aka Australia). My first car was a Ford Futura, built right here, and my last is a 1985/6 F350 tray top four wheel drive, built as far as I can figure out variously in Brazil, Canada AND of course the good ol' US of A (maybe). I've had the BigBeast since 1990 (33 years), buying her off ELCOM, which was the state (NSW) electricity utility. They had bolted a dirty big tank of creasote on the back, which they used on power poles up in the Blue Mountains. My effie was apparently the only truck they had capable of getting where they needed to go.
She's currently broken down, and I've got the engine in pieces trying to work out what's wrong. Any suggestions as to where on this site I should go to pick up some advice?

You'll probably find the best help starting in the "1980 - 1986 Bullnose F100, F150 & Larger F-Series Trucks" forum.

Welcome aboard!
