where do I get a copy?

 

MOTOR books are those big fat blue hard covered reference books (about 8.5 X 11 X 3) that you see in your local library or all grease covered at your local joe blow garage. sorta like those big, fat Chilton manuals...

 

Hahahaha. You think you make funny for siwwy monkey to laff. I was actually being serious about where to get a copy of the book. I have the manuals, the parts catalogs (just got a 48-55 big job catalog), and lots of catalogs. I have not seen the book mentioned, but I think I have heard it in reference before. I would like a copy to add to my Ford library located at what I am now calling the Ford Truck Retirement Center (lol).

 

No, I was serious.

As far as finding one to buy.....

Used book stores

Maybe at amazon.com

Maybe Ebay....

Auction sales for old garages being shut down.....

There's motorbooks international who make books on all types of cars on restoration, history and modifications.

Motor Manuals are what ferguson referring to, used in garages for labor and part removal/installation.

 

Doh!, my bad.....

 

The same information is available in "Standard Catalog of Light-Duty Ford Trucks" by John Gunnell. It's available for around $20 on eBay and through various book stores.
