Just have to ask: Where can I find the best,(lot's of photos) manual for a 1966 F-250 Camper Special????????????

Specifically, need it to cover everything but the engine......It has been replaced with a 1973 vintage 460.

Thanks.

Factory manual is probably your only choice. They come in 3 volumes to make a complete set. They turn up on Ebay.
Some vendors out there have them on CD ROM but I'm suspicious of the quality.
I have a Motor manual for 1966 but it only covers basics and does not have much in the way of illustrations.

ddavidv,

Thanks for the info....I checked w/ MotorHaven and as you said they have a 3 vol. set for 75.00 plus shipping. I suppose that this would be the going price for new.

I have a '66 and I bought the CD Manual Online and I can tell you - it's exactly like my friends original paper copy. I paid $40 for it, a lot cheaper than what I've seen it going for. I would post from who, but I don't know if they adverstise. They are from MA if that helps.

Motorhaven has the CD-ROM versions as well, all depends on what you want.

Thanks jrbury3,

I'm leaning the way of the CD for maintenance after pricing around the wwweb. It would appear that is what I will do.

You mentioned that you also have a '66....is it a 250???

Mine is also a Camper Special....without the camper. I purchased it for the hauling power, heavy duty suspension and shocks,etc.

I wish mine was a 3/4 ton - it's only a 1/2 :-( Heck - it's not even a custom cab, just a plain jane.

One note on the software install - it takes a reader (included - sort of like Adobe) - however, install it in the default, if you don't, it won't open the files. Who knows why they let you choose a different location but not have it work?
