I am having trouble finding a manual for my truck. What is out there and what is worth getting?

I want to change the oil in my truck but I don't know any of the capacities. I have the 390, four barrel, 4 speed, how much oil will it hold?

5 qts. with a new filter. That is what I have done for my FEs for the last 25 years.

In the cool still quiet of night, you can hear chevies rusting away.

 

Service manual. Check with Helm Publishing ( http://www.helminc.com ) and see if they still carry the Ford Factory service manual. 5 Volume set. Year specific and covers every truck built that year. If not there then check e-bay. The Helm publication is much much better than a chilton's manual. You might also check the online store. They have the same manual in CD form. Kinda nice, print out the info you need and get that all greasy. Then print another if you need it.
