So I'm covered in mud and (ouch) gravel--funny how those sharp stones can really stick to your skin. Anyway, I'm trying to resurect a half-dead 1965 Ford Pick up by myself, with very few tools. I'm what I'd consider mildly mechanically competent, but with the time honored tradition of Chilton Manuals I've managed to work on my own cars with very good results. For older vehicles you'll also want to get the original manual (usually not too hard to find.)Chances are if you're looking at this book you're already comfortable working on your own vehicle, but on the off chance that you're a novice, consider this. Getting comfortable with working on your own vehicle and getting to know your vehicle is the best thing you can do. It saves you money in the long run and you'll feel empowered when you gap your own spark plugs for the first time. Seriously, with this book anyone should feel comfortable taking a look under the hood of their vehicle and doing a little work.

This book had some good information, but it wasn't quite what we were looking for. We needed more detailed information about the fuel system, diagrams, schematics, etc. This was very generalized information.

if you have a older ford truck pass this book up. no info worth
reading here for my 1965. example no 4x4 breakdown for the 65
hayes book is much better

This book was in excellent condition. It covers a lot of ground, more than the "Holt" book I purchased previously. Can't wait to dig into this book and start finishing my old truck I just purchased. Recommend highly.

The book was in BETTER condition then we expected and arrived very quickly! :D Will definitely go through this seller again!

Short of a factory manual, this is the one to get. Very complete and well explained.

Good but leaves a lot out...It did help me with a few issue with the truck, so it was well worth the price!

I am pleased with this manual. I am a beginer with mechanics, so the only problem i have is knowing what the part is that they are talking about to remove or install. I am learning and will continue to reference the chilton manual. I will also definately buy another chilton manual for the next vehicle I try to repair. Amazon.com did a good job at getting the book to me in a timely and inexpensive manner.
