In its day, the first generation Ford F-Series trucks were known and respected as the workhorse line of trucks – a true testament to quality American engineering . This 1949 – 1952 Ford F-Series Truck Shop Manual reproduction has been made with the same American ingenuity and manufacturing perfection in mind. A great deal of work and technology went into reproducing this fine shop manual and all of its outstanding photos, diagrams and illustrations which compliment the very detailed repair and rebuild / restoration instructions you will find inside. We believe you will think that this manual is just as good, if not better, than the original. Of course, you can try to find the original shop manuals around in the market place. If you spend enough time and effort searching, you may succeed, but your results will most likely be manuals which have been already been thoroughly used and abused, with tons of grease marks, tears and stains. In contrast, this reproduction is a freshly printed and packaged copy, and the grease marks have been painstakingly removed. The photographs and text have been restored to near perfection.
