Welcome!
We have similar trucks. Big Blue is only a regular cab, but is otherwise quite similar.
The common problems for this setup revolve around the fuel system. I found a note recently in one of the dealer facts books that said that only the 460's in an F-Series with the Pickup Box Removal Program, Trailer Towing/Camper Package, or Special High Altitude Performance Package got electric fuel pumps. All else got the mechanical pump.
The electric pump system is slightly complex as it has an inertia switch and a cutout relay controlled by an oil pressure switch. It isn't really all that complex, but most people seem to think so and a lot of the trucks have part of the system bypassed. But with the
wiring diagram it isn't that bad to repair if you need to do so.
Otherwise, just drive it and enjoy it. Oh, and don't forget to stop for gas - frequently.
Oh yes, we have a member's map (Bullnose Forum/
Member's Map) and I can add you if you'd like.
