Looking for an owners manual, any help?

Anyone have an owners manual for a 1988 F150 Custom? When I bought my truck it didn't come with one. I have bought a Chilton's repair and maintainence manual, but that isn't what I'm looking for. Any help would be great! Thanks!

Have a look at fleet.ford.com you may be able to download one from there. Also try helminc.com and of course, ebay.com and also books4cars.com

Thanks Lazy K! I have looked on Ebay and haven't found much. I'll check those other sites!

Nothing specific fordman, I just wish I had one for my truck just to see what's in it. helminc.com wanted $19 for one. I am thinking I could find a salvage yard that might have a few that are still in the truck. I'm going to give it a try. I have a few yards near me and I'll call them tomorrow. I'll see what I can find out.

Reasonable enough, my 93 still had the owners manual in it.

i found a full Ford service manual set on ebay for $60, and it covers everything including engine and tranny rebuilds and an owners manual. You might want to hold out and find something similar.

I kept the one from my '88 when I traded it off for parts. I also have the Four Wheeling with Ford book and some other stuff from it. I might part with the manual, since I don't have an '88 anymore, but you'd have to kill me for the other booklets!
