Owners Manual

Been looking and surfing both e-net and catalogs for a Originial style 1965 F100 Owners manuals; all companies listed below carry from 1948 - 1964 then skip to 1966; was 1965 a bad year or bigger book?
I have LMC's ; Dennis Carpenter, Mac Auto Parts; NPD, & California Truck catalogs; no luck............

Any one have a spare or know of a company that sells them; I was out bidded during the last minute on e-bay as well.

Thanks

May want to try Hemmings Motor News web site. Run a search under literature and select list of sellers to contact. They would likely know whether the 65 owners manual is available. i used Hemmings to find seller and purchased use set of 65 shop manuals. emailed, and use their toll free # to get best deal.

good luck,
dave

Im not too sure about the '65 manual, but I bought my '64 manual from these guys for like $8-$9.

Its a pretty good site, with knowledgeable employees and quick to boot!!


Good Luck......

Anyone know of a website that will have most years of ford trucks pictured as if they just rolled off the assembly line??

Smile Thanks to all

Recieved some good suggestion's going to continue surfing and any other site; probably have to wait until the next F100 show @ Pigeon Forge; if that's what it will take.

Thanks for your replies- banjopicker66, daveengelson, PDawson.etc

Nowhere To Be Found

I have the original owners manual for my '65 CC but it is in pretty bad shape. i have been looking (not very hard) for a couple of years to get a better copy. NOBODY is reproducing one for 1965.

Talking 1965 Owners Manuals not a Dime a Dozen

Seems like the 1965 year not only first for IFS but also a very rare year to find owners manual; I'll keep searching and eventuality will succeed.

Isendel;
Thanks for remembering my thread I posted; I too montior the ebay sites and I'm watching that manual for now; Seems alittle different than the one I purchase for 65 Fords, but I guess it cover both Fords and Merc's as well.

Thanks again;
Mitch
