Is this the product that you guys have that gives them real helpful exploded parts diagrams?1928 - 1956 FORD TRUCK MASTER PARTS MANUAL CATALOG CD : eBay Motors (item 110459842044 end time May-18-10 16:22:13 PDT)
Its about time I got this.

 

Hi John,

Yes and no. That disc has the "48-56 Ford Truck Parts and Accessories Catalog - Illustrations" (pictured below) and it's mate - the "Text Document."

That has quite a few of the pictures we post, but there's no Bonus Built Body Parts illustrated in it.



It also has the "44-52 Ford Body Parts Manual" on it which has very few pictures for the Bonus Built but the ones in there (all 10 or 12 of them) are of odd things (like wind wings and window regulators) but useful.



BUT the disc does not have the really good book on it that I get most of the pictures I use from. It's the "1948-1952 Ford Truck Chassis Parts Catalog" pictured below, which is not being reproduced and I haven't seen for sale on e-bay in over 18 months. I was very disappointed this manual is not on the disc - it's the one you need.



One other book I post a lot of pictures from (like the line drawings with the truck dimensions) are from the "1951 Truck [Salesmans] Handbook." I hav enot seen one of those for sale for about 18 months either and they usually sell for about $200 when they are. I have a gallery with all the salesmans handbook pages in it.

For $30 the CD is a good investment,and you will use it. But it doesn't have all the pictures and info you need for Bonus Built - the 48-52 Chassis Parts Catalogue is the one to have.

 

Thanks Julie . I will keep an eye out for the chassis parts catalog.

 

The one I got is "48 - 56 Ford Truck Master Parts and Accessories Catalog, form FD-9640 and FD-9465, Text & Illustrations Catalog". Got it from HiPo Parts Garage - High Performance Auto Racing Parts

 

I just got the 57-63 one and it has tons of great exploded pics in there.
