Hi and welcome Dave.
Sometimes these old trucks do have a few problems, hopefully you don`t find too many and there`s always help as close as your computer and FTE.
Be sure to post your intro in the local LA chapter soon: https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/forum148/

We have only had the truck a short time but it has unquestionably become a part of the family. When I was young I could spend hours in an old vehicle day dreaming about driving it, my young ones are doing the same in this old truck while it is up being repaired. When we are running it the kids and myself look forward riding in it even if it's just around the subdivision. My wife is even getting into it!

The hardest part on the FE engines is to get the exhaust mainifold top bolts out without having them breaking off.
Many more helpful hints in the 1967 - 1972 F-100 And Larger F-Series Trucks forum: https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/forum39/ and the FE & FT Big Block V8 forum: https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/forum51/
