Stop by one of the local parts stores and get a repair and maintenance manual. Chilton and Haynes manuals are what they normally have and they'll detail what you need to do.

It isn't hard to change a set of pads.......1.Block the tires with a piece of wood(heavy and strong)2.Loosen the lug nuts(don't take them off yet)3.Open the hood.4.Remove the master cylinder cap and wrap a rag around it(for overflow)5.Jack the truck up and finish removing the lugnuts and take the tire off.6.Look behind the caliper(brake pad holder) to see what size the bolts or allen bolts are and get the right size wrench or socket.7.Remove the bolts and the caliper.8.remove the old brake pads and put the new ones in.9.Put the caliper back in and bolt it in. Do this for however many pads you are replacing,and DO NOT,I REPEAT DO NOT PUMP THE BRAKES until you have finished replacing the pads and put the master cylinder cap BACK ON! See how easy that was?!!

it is a very easy job to do but I have been a mechanic for 28 years.But the best thing I could tell you is go on the internet and look up(,Haynes Repair manual).These manuals have a step by step instructions for everyting that pertains to your truck.

take off the tire there should be 2 bolts on back of caliper take them off, remove old pad, collapse the caliper, put in new pads, slide caliper back onto rotor, put bolts back in, make sure you have the caliper back on before you compress the caliper on the other side
for the back it is pretty much the same, but you might need a certain tool to compress rear calipers

There is no place on the web that will give you this information free. Your best bet is to buy a repair manual, they are not expensive and they will tell you anything you need to know.

the final ingredient could be to purchase a provider handbook from the two Chiltons, Haynes, or your Ford broking. That way they could have photographs and all the records to do the interest. reliable good fortune with it.
