Owners manual source?
Any suggestions as to a factory owners manual for a 1970 C600?
I have checked Ebay and faxonautolit (bought a set of service manuals from them) and a couple of the other oem manual suppliers with no luck.
Suggestions?

That's gonna be a tough one.
Without doing a search every few days on eBay, you can do a "saved search" and have eBay email you when someone lists something that matches your search.
For instance, you can search for "ford 1970 c600" and where it says "0 results" there is a link for "Save this search and alert me later".
You might want to add variations on that, like "ford 70 c600", I'm not sure if eBay will give results for both 1970 and 70.

All Ford factory literature since the late 1940's has been printed by Helm (helminc.com).
I went to their website, they don't have any owners manuals for 1970, but...
Since the C Series Tilt Cab was essentially the same from 1957 thru 1986, FT engines were installed from 1964 thru 1978, any owners manual from 1964/78 will have basically the same info.
Ed Faxon (he has an actual store in Riverside CA), may not have a manual for 1970, but he may have other years.
I have a friend who owns a long time (since 1929) family owned truck dismantlers yard here in Los Angeles.
He may have an owners manual. I do know there's a least one 1970's C Series in his yard, so I'll give him a call on Monday and see what he may have.

Thanks again Bill.
I do have a owners manual for 1974, but due to the differences in the Allison models - I was lookiing for one for 1970 so I can figure out how the hydralic retarder works!
