Welcome, Troy! Glad you joined.
What part of east Tejas? I ask because we have a map (Bullnose Forum/Member's Map) and can add you with a city or zip.
Tell us about your handle? Have you been to Moab? I'm headed there in June with Big Blue.
As for a free service manual, I doubt you'll find a complete one for free as several companies are licensed by Ford to reproduce them. But we have many of the sections thereof scattered about this site, so most of what you need is buried herein. Just ask and we'll point you to where they are.
