Hello from East Texas

Howdy, I recently bought a 1965 Ford F-100. It's been in weeds for 18 years or so. It's already running pretty well. The engine is not original - I think it's something like a 350 V8 - maybe '71 or '72. This is not my expertise, somebody else's guess.

Anyway, it's tuned pretty good now and with the carb., new radiator, new brakes, one new drum, bunch of other misc. new stuff. Need a new headliner, upholstry work - new radio, new switches - new plastic light covers (exterior) - basically a lot of stuff. Anyone have some initial advice as I start this journey? I want to restore as close to original as possible - so that means wheels, hub caps ornaments, radio, etc. It's now a standard, but still has the old automatic stick on the steering column

Looking forward to conversing with you all!
