Default couple of questions from a new member

Posted my intro just now. I did order a manual for my 1995 2WD 5sp F150.
The guy I bought it from said the rear gas tank hadn't been used for some time, and I may want to drop it and have it checked. Well, I put in 3 gallons of gas, switched her over to the rear, but no gas is going thru. What do I do now?
Got a fogged headlight, tries Crest (even tho the adv. say colgate) tried to take the trim off, geez,,,,,,,I hope the manual says how to do that. Seems to be some screws I can't get out. Tires: just got 2 175 X17 5 lug. PO didn't have a spare (!), so I'm going to try to find a rim to mount one of the tires I replaced for a spare. So far, no tire shops have one for me. Hate to buy a new one. I'll end this long post now....more to come. Looking forward to some help

I assume he means Craigs List.

The yellow headlights can be made much better but I think the kits are a waste. I wet sand mine, 600, 1200, mirror fine. Then a polish. That is on my Hyundai. The Ford has nipples and I did it for a while but bought some after market ones for $70 and it makes the whole truck look newer.
