Default Newbie Jack

After poking around the forum for a bit looking for answers I figured I'd join up as I suspect I'll have plenty of questions moving forward. Recently bought a nice '88 F150 inline 6 and am trying to make sure I have all the information I need to take care of it. It seems owners manuals for it are hard to come by so if anyone could throw me some advice I'd appreciate it!

She's currently waiting on a new fuel filter... got her into the mechanic for my inspection and they discovered that the fuel filter is cracked and leaking like crazy (huge puddle of fuel under the truck, can't wait to get home and see if there's a big stain on my driveway where I park.)
I don't have any tools with me so I'm unfortunately gonna just have the guys here at the shop fix it so we can get the emissions test done. Hopefully all future repairs I'll be doing on my own though.

She is a beauty! Fuel might evaporate by the time you get home.

As for the manual, will this do?
