When I start a new project I like to pick up the Clymer, Haynes, or Chilton manual to use around the shop. They tend to have the tid bits I need about torque, wiring, etc. I'm having trouble finding a repair manual on a 1960 F100. Is it just me? Do they exist? Recommendations?

haynes didn't start until after 1960, the two big aftermarket names in manuals in 1960 were Chilton's and Motor's. I have a 1960 chilton car (not real useful) and a 1958 Fomoco truck manual that can teach any ***** how to be an auto mechanic. There are three ways to go about it. Cruise Goodwill, Salvation Army, Catholic resale shops weekly and pick one up for $1. Don't be too specific about year, any Ford manual (even cars) from 1957 to 1963 would be pretty useful, unless you're rebuilding a 439 Super Duty motor. The second most expensive way is let google search craigslist.com for you, although prices are pretty random on craigslist, and searching your local CL daily is probably the best way to get a bargain. The third most expensive way is a used bookstore or Ebay. You have to have Paypal to use Ebay and a pretty hot computer, I don't use it. You are liable to play $30 shipping on E-bay, they don't tell you where they are, and freight prices vary, the storefront shipping shops can be very expensive. Used book stores and Amazon will take a debit card, there won't be any bargains there but the service can be good.
