1974 - 1979 Ford Truck Shop Manuals Now Available

Ford Truck Enthusiasts is pleased to announce the
availability of 1974 - 1979 Ford Truck Shop Manuals on
CD-ROM!

We've sold these for 1932-1972 for about 6 months and a
common inquiry concerned the availability of 73-79
manuals.

Now 74-79 are available (73 not yet available). These
are licensed Ford manuals and far exceed the quality and
content of after market manuals. Each CD-ROM contains
hundreds of pages of content, a viewer/navigation/printing
program, illustrations, service procedures, specs, and
much more. This manual is the service manual used by
dealer techs.

For a limited time, the manuals are 10% off. You can order
them on our web site at:

https://www.ford-trucks.com/cgi-bin/Web_store/webshop.cgi

Regards,
Ken Payne

Ken:

Are these the same exact manuals, i.e., photocopies of actual FoMoCo factory tech. manuals, such as Bishko Books sells, as I mentioned in my recent posting in the '80-'96 Conference? What I'm getting at is, do the CD's contain ALL the volumes, i.e., Chassis, Emmsions, Electrical/Vacuum, etc...? The reason I'm asking is $49.00 is a helluva lot cheaper than 4 or 5 manuals at $59.00 a pop. I would buy one for my '72, when I start driving it regularly. Right now it needs nothing--knock on wood.

Next question: When will FTE have the later years, say '88?

By the way--I never even knew there were products for sale. In fact, is the Features Manual for '72 F100's actually the same as an "Owner's Manual" and if not, what IS it? I don't have one for my '72.

Thanks again,

Peter

Yes, they are identical and complete. Plus some of the years include additional documentation. All of them also include significant news and sports events of the year (nifty).

The facts and features manuals are not owners manuals. They are Ford documents detailing the trucks, what was available as options, trim levels, etc.

Ken:

Thanks. But when will you have, say, the '88's on disc?

Thanks again,

Peter

No word on the 88s yet. We're having fits just getting the 74-79 discs in, huge demand has caused a large back-order that is still not done.

I temporarily removed them. We ended up getting a bund on back order and our supplier keeps moving the delivery date. I felt it was best if we didn't list them until the next order comes in (we've got all the other years fully stocked with about 5 copies of each year).
