Question OBD Code readers

I can't find any code readers for an 1987 f150! Everything I see is for 1996 and newer. Anyone have a good website that sells them??

Do a search on ebay for OBD-I code readers.

You do know that you can get the codes without a reader, right?

I got mine from AutoZone/schucks/kragen for $35.00. It's an Innova model 3145. I've also seen the same one at WalMart for the same price. It give me the actual code numbers instead of reading flashes. you can read the codes using a paperclip or an analog multimeter, but I think the cost of the code reader is worth the convienance to me.
