DAVE, thnx for the referral. I purchased their 'body/interior assembly manual',found it quite helpful. Probably more info than most really need. If the truck is disassembled it is helpful in placement of caulking, type, location of hardware, lots of pic of truck disassemble. Sorry for hijacking thread.

NP dave in my opinion...if you have all the factory manuals is the repro interior assy. book the same as whats shown in it or is the booklet you got alot more detailed ???

Thanks, cs65

Also, on the wiring schematic book...is it color coded ???

If you have the necessary manuals then it will likely be a duplication. On one of my 65's the previous owner removed the tool compartment and left the door on the side of the bed. I wanted a detailed description of the measurements, brackets, etc. to have another box made, none of the books I had, at the time, had any pic's.

Purchased the 65 F100 'wiring diagram manual' many years ago and at that time they were in black and white. Also purchased a color coded laminated wiring diag. off ebay and found it to be useless. I would replace the blk/white manual for color coded if Jim Osborn reproduction has one.

yes it's color coded. gives colors by wire numbers. I'd love to have a full manual as the FMX I just put in won't do reverse all forward but that's another story. On the bed box I have one that I am going to put in mine got out of a donor. Let me know what you need on the measurements.

Seems like FTE Ken literally just posted up announcement for 1963-64 wiring diagrams. Someone should check them out. $2.50 for the it all.

Look at the top of this forum's page.
