I saw a book a while back that was called "How to restore and modify your 1953 - 1956 Ford F100. The book is said to contain information about all of the restoration process and also includes upgrades such as Fuel injection and A/C. The author is Mike Bishop and the ISBN # is 0760309272. I recently got a 55 F100 that pretty much needs a complete going through and thought that this book may come in handy but I can't seem to find a copy any where. Does anyone have any bright ideas on where to look?

I think that there are at least two Mike Bishops that have written automotive books.

The famous, hot rodding Mike Bishop is occasionally here: av8ford

Thank you 45 ford. I'm starting to think there are too many Mike's. You signed your post Mike, you mentioned 2 Mikes in your post....and believe it or not, my name is Mike.
Evidently, great minds think alike. lol!
