eBay.com has a few manuals for sale cheap. I think I saw about four currently on sale. I did a search using the words "1978 ford"

 

Thanks

 

I ordered a BRAND new one from Helm.com

For my 1978 Ford F250, cost me $22.00 to my house


The Pro

 

I orderd some from auto krafters. the 4 volume set ran @ 80 bucks. I just had the opportunity to use books for cars, and just a note, they are used and if you are looking for them to be in any certian condition you probably should specify that when you place your order.

 

my public library has car repair manuals for many different cars and trucks... call them and ask

 

I thought he wanted the Owners manual that usually goes in the glove compartment.Not the shop/repair manuals.

Thanks for the head-ups about Books4cars.

Pro,
What kind of manual was that that you purchased from helm? Was it an actual Ford manual with engine tear down, wire diagrams etc...?
Thanks!

 

[updated:LAST EDITED ON 10-Mar-02 AT 07:38 PM (EST)]Both, just bought the Owners Manual for the Glove box.

A friend gave me the Complete Shop Manual set from Helm.com

The Dealer buys their Manuals from Helm !!!

I tried to order books from helm for my '77 and they told me they were too old and gave me the number to Bishko. www.autobookssbishko.com
