Good Books
I have a $25 gift certificate at a book store and I'm wondering what are some good books that deal our trucks and small block ford engines? Does anyone have the T Brownell's "How to restore your Ford truck"? Is it good?

I have the T Brownell book, which is a great read if you are staying stock. It was a good motivator and for novice restorers, covers how to organize the build. It has some good general info on body work, driveline etc.
Since I have gone from the stock restoration, I rely more now on Haynes, shop manual for application specific parts iinfo.

I bought and am returning the "Ford F-Series Pickup Owner's Bible: A Hands-On Guide to Getting the Most from Your F-Series Pickup (Ford)" as it doesn't have the specific details I am looking for. I have ordered two books as replacements "Classic Ford F-Series Pickup Trucks: 1948-1956" by Don Bunn and "How to Restore Your Ford Pickup"
By: Tom Brownell mentioned below. I will also shortly pickup the original ford shop manual(s). I'll let you know what I think in a week or two.
