NewB - looking for a Owner's Manual

Just bought a 1991 F250 XLT Lairat, 7.5L V8, with x75,000 miles on it (175k?, 275k?). It runs well but shows it's age.

Will start building my dream house soon, so the truck is going to be coming in handy to haul materials for the project.

I'd love to get my hands on an Owner's Manual. ANybody know where to get one. This truck came with zero paperwork, no maintenance records, nada.

Any help will be much appreciated.

PS - Haven't owned a Ford since that 1971 Econoline I drove in high school. Ah, the stories that van could tell!
Keith

eBay comes to mind. Don't know anywhere else that might have one.

Hi all, old to the forums, first time on the Norcal Chapter. I'm sure some of you know me but I figured i'd say hey! I've gotten into the forums more lately and I'm hoping to get some more parts, knowledge, and inspiration!
Working on:

"White" 79 Bronco, 4 inch suspension lift, 1 inch body lift, 33s, unknown engine build on the M-block with electronic ignition, long tube headers, 4 barrel holley hooked to the C-6, and part time converted np203-T.
"Babe" (The Blue Ox) 84 F-250 singlecab, longbed, 4x4, 4 speed standard, 6.9 IDI.
Junker Nissan D21 that im trying to get rid of
Kawasaki Vulcan 750 that is my daily driver most of the time

Getting Married soon and moving to Oregon but plan on continuing to visit the parents and "Babe" where it lives and my dad uses it so i'll still be a part of Norcal! So yeah.

Okay, since I have been lax in my duties of checking to see if there were any join requests since January it seems. I have just now approved eleven (that's right 11) join requests. My sincerest apologies to those eleven who have been waiting to be accepted. I have no excuse, as I have not been too busy, or sick (except that one week about 3 weeks ago) to check the join requests list.

Of those eleven, one has already posted here Thunderhorn, who only states one fact in his reason to join: America. So welcome to the Nor Cal chapter Thunderhorn!

In order of requests, oldest to newest, the other ten new members are:

65 Econoline
Chalawafarms
555 Studio
Lights Guy 3
Beedub 109r
1977Ford F150
Chewablegerm
Boehmtrent
Cleija01
Fordmanv10

Please give all eleven a warm welcome, and to you eleven, I must apologize for the delay.

Jim
