1974 F100 308 V8 2WD Longbed

Would someone please email me with how/where to find a service manual for this specific vehicle.

Thanks

Try the parts shop in the upper right corner of this page for a CD version.

 

Try searching on e bay for a factory manual. My 1976 truck manuals, all 5 volumes cost me around $130 this summer. A lot of money but cheap if you figure the messes it gets you out of.

The service manuals on CD here at the online store have the complete factory manuals and also wiring diagrams and brochures.

 

Authentic Ford manuals can be gotten from your local Ford dealer. If they do not list any stock for the manuals that you want (as in my case) they will, can, should direct you to the licensed distributor of these out of date publications. I purchased a complete set for my 73 for around 65.00. While a CD is very convenient it cannot replace a book. As you know a book will operate anywhere with or without power.

 

If you must have the paper product try here.

I was sceptical at first also of the cd version, but have grown to love it, as the pages get greasy,, I print new ones

 

I don't see the link to the CDROM.

How are the CDROMs organized?

Are they basically PDFs of the manual? (Which I would prefer)

Or are they "reorganized?"

Hmm, can't find the cd manual-any tricks to finding it?

 

the cd-rom is produced by a company called "detroit iron" they are not pdf's. They use a "different" format, kind of a pain, but I believe they do it to attempt to prevent pirating. They are scans of the original manual, and organized in a manner that makes it easy to find what you are looking for.

FWIW, I think it was worth the money for the wiring diagram alone.

 

Where can I purchase the manual?

I read in the thread that there was a link at the top of the page to a place to buy it but I don't see it.

Welcome back Mil1ion, i think i can speak for nearly everyone when i say we missed your vast wealth of knowledge here, good to have you back.

 

The online store has changed substantially since the original date of this thread (2003).

You can find a distributor through their web site:

Home Page Detroit Iron Information Systems

 

Look at the date of he thread, he is not back
