Gary's LATEST Haul of Books

A lady at church is moving and her deceased husband had been buying up Ford documentation - which she didn't want to move. Let's just say that Big Blue's rear suspension settled a bit on the way home.
 I'm just now working my way through the stuff, and will let you know what I come up with, but I thought you might like to see a few pics thereof. First is the 1983 Car/Truck Shop Manual - Engine Diagnosis - Engine/Electronics book. Look at all the info in those tabs!   And here's a couple of pics of the load:

That's a lot of books and you've got a lot of reading to do!

You have been blessed, Gary! Just think if you had not attended church that day!

Thanks, guys!
John - I don't do the reading. I do the scanning and y'all do the reading.  David - Missing one day wouldn't have mattered. We know Carolyn quite well. In fact, we'll be with her tomorrow as we all set up and serve at a funeral. And she and Janey hang out all day on Tuesdays sewing. So she knows how much I'm into Ford trucks. In fact, she encouraged me to enter BB into the truck show that John took Blackie to, but I couldn't as the twins were here. Here are some pics of a couple of cool things I found, starting with these Motorcraft Information Updates that are begging to be put on the website:  And here's a neat "portfolio" that appears to be an amalgam of several truck data books. The Bronco section is 1985, but other sections are both 1983 and 84. And, there's info on the medium and heavy duty trucks in it as well. So it seems like it is a combo of several books, but it looks like it came the way it is.

Wow! Congrats Gary, and many thanks to this lady!
I really have to work on this library cartoon drawing!  BTW, couple of weeks ago I went back to the Ford dealer guy who owns couple of old catalogs. He answered he is not in a hurry. Not sure he is serious about giving or selling his old documents…

Thanks, Jeff. I'm not in a hurry either. Please keep asking though so he doesn't forget and throw them away.
