1974 Truck Shop Manual, okay for my 1972?

[FordRocket72]

I bought Vol 1 & 2 of the 1974 Ford Truck Shop Manual at a flea market, both for $10. I have perused through Vol 2. Engine and I am guessing most of it is valid for my 1972 F100. I know the body style changed after so I wonder how valid is the Vol. 1 Chassis??

Very little would have changed between the two years. You can always check here for the answers. The Chilton book I have is for 65-86. Clymer is 69-86. If you have drum brakes on your truck, and the manual shows disc, maybe you rip that section out.

Good luck

the electrial book will do you no good so dont buy it . get he 72 book. those two might be alright fo ryour truck. but the rear end stuff mat be different as far as codes for your rearend.

Or you just convert to disc brakes.
