Truck manual

[bucks77ford]

I found this on ebay and it looks almost new. Are these reproduced by anyone? If not this one is in really nice shape. I don't know if I overpaid for it, but it's pretty cool.

I have 3 of them here.

I would have to say yes they do reproduce them

Check inside the front leaf for dates

Of course they reproduce them.
I'd almost bet that's a repop.

Thats nice Buck. I don't see why a reproduced book would need that "Important Notice" on the front.

^^ If it is a repro...the note would be there so it looks original...and if it is original..very cool!

What does that manual cover Buck??????

 

[fatherdoug]

I believe it is just an owner's manual, Ben, with the required warnings, fluid types, and operational aspects only.

I thought the one I just picked up had a different cover...I'm gonna go check. Then again, I bought and haven't moved it from the bag yet.

Ya, it's just a owners manual. Nothing real special, but I thought it would nice to have in the truck when I take it to shows and what not. How many shop manuals were there for 77 F-series? Is this something that's right? http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/1977...60574200828QQptZMotorsQ5fManualsQ5fLiterature

I guess I could get the CD version like this, but having a book set would be nice just to keep with the truck also for shows and conversation piece. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/FORD...30510577147QQptZMotorsQ5fManualsQ5fLiterature

I think I have an original 78 manual I found in a junkyard. It's got some stains, but I think it's complete. I'll see if I can find it. Here is one on ebay for 78.

There is quite a bit of stuff on ebay which is nice. Not sure if prices are high, but they don't seem to be too bad.

^^^I see it now...just went and looked at the difference between the LT OM and the medium Duty manual I just picked up.

Thank You, Buck. I have a "working" copy, but I would like to find a new one to have to put away. Thanks for the info.

Only dates I found are on the back cover stating "July 1976, first printing 1977 Owner's Guide". The place mine came from was rothautobooks.com
I couldn't find anything on their website about repos, so maybe this one is original. Either way, it looks great and a really cool thing to look at.

My original owners manual ( 78 ) dosn't have anything saying who printed it.
Butit does have a Ford part number:
D8TA-19A321-BA
Litho in USA

Mine also says that almost exact except D7TA-19A321-BA

The ebay'er site did say "original" manual, but because of the condition I didn't know if mine was a repo and sold as "original". You know how ebay can be. I do think it's original so that's nice.

There are many other sites you cab buy those from, I'll see if I can find them.
I alway's thought it would be very cool to have the corresponding year entire brochure in the truck.
