out of the blue my buddy came up and handed me a 1968 ford & mercury truck shop manual today! - and he wouldn't even accept a beer as some kind of payment for it!
I guess he picked up a box of old service manuals at the swap meet and since he's not really fond of fords,he thought of me!
Thanx Johnny!
