Where to start?
Hello,
I just acquired a 1975 F100 Explorer pickup. It was about to be sold off for parts because the engine had been blown and the PO had attempted to drop in a Mustang 302, to which he added lots of goodies. He never got the thing running and SWMBO told him to get rid of it. I'm an old hand on Ford small blocks so I got it running for him and took it off his hands for a song.
Now, Im faced with figuring out the F-Series or truck related issues. Search is disabled on this forum so forgive me if these questions have been answered dozens of time already.
Where can I get an on-line resource for wiring diagrams?
What on-line sources for parts would you recommend?
Thanks a bunch.
Griff

Haynes has a great Manual for these trucks, get the older brown covered one if you can find it. Has MUCH more info.
You can get a Set of Shop Manuals on CD from National Parts Depot, bout 50 bucks. I have a original set of FoMoCo Books, Well worth it..
Npd, LMC, Jeffs Bronco Graveyard, have alot of parts for the older fords.. ive used em all for different parts. Dont forget Ebay, and the classifieds section on FTE or just posting yer questions in here..
