From the Manual:
Forword
This book has been prepared to supply operators and maintenance mechanics with all the essential information for insuring the most efficient performance of the Ford 1 l/2 -Ton, 4 x 2, Truck. Detailed specifications and data concerning manufacturing limits and tolerances will be found in the last section of the book.
The Ford Parts Numbering System is designed so that a basic number is assigned to each unit in the vehicle. For example, all wheels and wheel parts are within the series of numbers ranging from 1000 to 1500, all brake parts have numbers ranging from 2000 up, front axle parts have numbers ranging from 3000 up, steering gear parts have numbers ranging from 3500 up, etc. Since these basic numbers have been shown on all drawings showing exploded views of the various assemblies in the truck the book has been laid out in sections which conform to the grouping of the Ford Parts Numbering System. Each section is, therefore, numbered with the Ford basic number of the particular assembly or part described in that section. This will not only simplify the task of locating the various units in the book but will also make it easier for inexperienced men to locate in the Parts Book any items which may be referred to in the following text.
A brief description is given in each section of the operating principle involved in the particular assembly being discussed so the drivers, as well as mechanics will have some knowledge as to the functioning of each unit. In addition, detailed instructions for removing and installing parts, effecting necessary adjustments quickly, and properly lubricating all parts, are covered.
Such tools as are illustrated or mentioned in this book can be secured from K. R. Wilson, Buffalo, New York.

The pictures are very usable and not washed out or too dark like many of the manuals I have seen that have from copy machines. It is laser printed with at least 28 pound paper. Copy paper is generally 20 pound and you can feel the difference. It is bound with GBC plastic combs so that it will lay flat. If you would like I can, rather than bind with the plastic comb, three hole punch it for your binder. The format is 8.5 x 11. 36 Pages
If you are collecting manuals or looking for a prop to display at your next show, this is not the manual you want. If you want some usable information on the Ford, that will lay flat on your bench when you are working on your pride and joy or some period information on how it was done back Sixty Five years ago, while you curl up in front of the fire this winter, this is the one you need.

Feedback
I've always felt that sellers who have to make demands regarding feedback to be a little over the top. Having said that I find that for the second time this year I have received negative feedback with a positive comment. I can only assume that this is an error made by the buyer. If you have happy with your purchase, please leave positive feedback (carefully), I like to know it arrived and you are happy. If you are not happy, let me know and I will do my best to correct any problems.
