Need a little help

Im new to this forum stuff and I am not much of a mechanic but hope to learn. A few years ago I worked off a F250 Custom Camper Special w/ a 390 in it. It has been sitting in my yard for some time collecting moss. When I parked the truck it still ran well. I have been going out and starting it periodically to maintain the battery so I know it still runs. I figured it would be a great truck for me to learn how to work on considering the simplicity (no fancy electronic parts). I would like to make it a bit of a project. My first question is is there any other modifications I need to be aware of other than swapping the intake before I put a four barrel carb on it?

Welcome aboard Tattu.
Drop into the 1967 - 1972 F-100 And Larger F-Series Trucks forum, lurk for awhile and you`ll learn out more than you ever wanted to know about your 72: https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/forum39/
These trucks are neat to work on, like you said they`re simple and so nice to learn the basics on.
Also see if check to see if there are any of these rides in your local WA chapter: https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/forum188/
