Hi!

Glad to find this place after spending so many hours browzing!

My husband just bought a 1983 Ford Econoline "Designer" series in very good + condition. Tan with rust/brown stripes. Rack and ladder, double gas tanks, automatic, et.c.

Just wanted to know where I can get a owner's manual and any additional manuals (i.e. "Chilton") for it.

You should be able to find repair manuals like Chilton at your local auto part store or many places online. Ford.com has owner manuals for your vehicles but alot people have had trouble getting them, especially for older vehicles.

Try helm Inc. com or fax on literature, they probably have the owners manuals.
