Question Having trouble diagnosing Engine sound

Hi all my truck has an odd sound I am aware they are noisy but still new to diagnosing this side of stuff. Would any of you know what it is.

I run 87 fuel, Shell Rotella 10w-30, and have about 70-80psi cold and about 10~12 at hot idle. It's a 1977 2WD 400, Anything else you need just let me know. Thank you.

Below are the attached videos with the sound.

All good just took it in for inspection and he was a Ford mechanic used to old Fords. He said it all sounds good just a old noisy valvetrain which is what I expected, just glad to get a second opinion.
