73-79 Manuals

[LEB Ben]

Hey guys...just picked up the 73, 74, 75 and 76 Light trucks facts books. Anyone else have these? Just wanna check to see if any pages are missing. I'll be comparing with the creator of the fordification site when they come in, but figured the more the merrier. Been trying to add the facts books to my collection for a while now with out much luck...and boom, 4 of them pop up today. Still need 77-79 though, so if there are any leads, hook a brother up.

Very nice, Ben. A lot of good info in those manuals.

Duncan has the '78 facts book posted. Just sayin'...........

Yeah...been wanting to add them for a while just for the knowledge. Tough little buggers to track down. I promised myself once I complete this set, I'll be done buying...but I guess that depends on what pops up between now and when I buy the last one...

I'm selfish...I want it all.

Nice finds!...I've been looking for those as well!

 

[LEB Ben]

Let's just say I'm glad I found them first and didn't have to get in to a bidding war you...haha.

These were actually OBO, so I got them for less than the price showing. Ended up being about $60-65/ea.

If you click on the second link, the sellers name is 'paperheaven'...I asked him what else he may have. He said they just got 11 semi truck loads in of literature that they're sorting through, so check back in. I see he's already posted a 76 facts book. A little steep IMO though:

Keith (of Fordification) sent me the link to the 76 binder that I bought...decided to see what else was out there...and bam. Figured it was destiny or something like that, so snagged them all.

If you happen across the 77-79 manuals, feel free to snag them...would like to be under $100/ea shipped threshold. Preferably $75/ea, but I get that shipping would be a bit more.

Oh...and these came in over the weekend:

The 74-

Bonus material in the 74-

The 75-

They look to be all there on the whole. Looks like whoever owned the 74 manual did some re-arranging with the most used pages, but doesn't look like much, if anything is missing. The 73 and 76 are out for delivery right now, but I'm stuck in Cleveland until tomorrow night.

And apparently I'll never figure out how to load pics from an iphone to the gallery and edit them properly.

And the last of the quartet showed up yesterday. A lot of bonus material in all of these manuals. Only the 73 and 76 appear to actually be missing any pages and they're both missing the first two pages of the introduction sections which included the paint chips and interior material info.

Thats some cool info. Nice score
