1978 FORD PICKUP & TRUCK FACTORY REPAIR SHOP & SERVICE MANUAL CD - F100, F150, F250, F350, BRONCO 78

I had been looking for quite some time for this model year's truck manual. I don't know why I never thought to check Amazon.Item arrived in a sealed CD case. I had to hunt a USB optical CD drive to get the files off. Fortunately, there was no need for some custom installer or licensed/keyed software to access the information. This was just a simple scanned copy of the 5 paper shop manuals from 1978.You get 4 PDFS:1978 FORD TRUCK SHOP MANUAL VOLUME ONE CHASSIS1978 FORD TRUCK SHOP MANUAL VOLUME TWO ENGINE1978 FORD TRUCK SHOP MANUAL VOLUME THREE AND FOUR BODY-ELECTRICAL1978 FORD TRUCK SHOP MANUAL VOLUME 5 PRE-DELIVERY MAINTENANCE AND LUBRICATIONFortunately someone took the time to construct the table of contents with hyperlinks. So its really easy to get to the section you need to find. Also the PDF is searchable.Very pleased. Thank you to the seller for making this available.

I bought this for my brother to restore his '78 f150. The manual is in pdf format, split into 4 sections (there are actually 5 sections, but 2 are combined). The index pages allow you to snap to their corresponding start pages, but that's about it. It can be tedious when searching for specific information in these manuals, but I don't attribute that solely to the pdf format, but rather the fact these manuals were written in the '70's. Every page is clear and easy to read and the illustrations are easy to see. I love that the manual contains information on every variant and option on this truck, but sometimes it can be a bit of an information overload. I've bought other shop manuals in pdf format before which are much easier to search through, which is why I can't bring myself to give it a full 5 star review.

I like how much detailed info is included and how organized the topics are laid out in the DVD format. It makes fixing things on my 1978 Ford truck much easier!

Pain in the a$$! Why can't I just pop into the CD reader and view? License, download files, blah blah blah! Go find an old fashioned paper manual!

It's exactly what it says it is...only issue really is that a lot of it is above my head. I'm not a professional mechanic. This is no fault of the manual, of course....it's just not easy to understand all the time.

Awesome for the price... lot of info.

very complete, nice addition to my regular off the shelf bargain manual that usually leaves you guessing on the more intricate assembly of the vehicle
