Talking Just bought my first truck! Many noob questions inside.

Okay here is the posting....

http://boston.craigslist.org/car/58607146.html
1985 F350 7.5L V-8 460
Auto
4X4

I got it for $1100!

What should I do when I get it home tomorrow?

Tune up wise.

How do I put it in four wheel drive? It has the stick on the floor.

Which gas tank do I normally use?

Many more questions to come.

Congratulations!
Beauty of a truck!
Pull the transfer case shifter to whatever configuration you wanna be in, whether it's 4L or 4H or 2H and if it's in 4, then you have to get out and turn the hubs to lock them in...
Also, I'd prolly change the plugs and wires and the air and fuel filters and the oil and oil filter...maybe if you wanna go nto detail have the tranny fluid flushed and refilled and change the filter in there, too...
