New original owners manuals are available for some 1970's models from helminc.com.

The last time I looked, the prices were very reasonable.

Helm also has wiring diagrams, other 1970's and later material.

Helm has printed all of Fords: shop/owners manuals, parts catalogs, and everything else for over 50 years.

Used shop & owners manuals are available from faxonautolit.com

I have the original sales receipt from september 20,1976 when he purchased the 77 I have now. He paid 7560.45 from Henry Woodfield Ford in Gaithersburg,MD. I'm still looking for an owners manual though.

After looking at the receipt again, he traded his 75 Blazer in and got 4300.00 for that , so in all actuality, he only paid 2790.00 all together. Besides that,where can you get a brand new F250 4x4 today for under 7500.00 ?

When I bought my '79, I was cleaning out all the junk the previous owner left in the cab, and in the glove box I found the original owner's manual. It was still in the original Ford plastic bag with the warranty and tire booklet too.
