This books description on the rear cover and in the publishers description indicates that "every aspect of restoring a 1946-1967 Ford pickup is covered in detailed text that's full of how-to advice from expert restorers". I can only say I think NOT. This IS a good book, with lot's of good GENERAL info, and lot's of good advice, and I'm sure most of the contributors are experts in some or all stages of restoration, but this book covers every aspect of restoring not one of the model years listed, LEAST of which is the 1965 and later models. This particular period (67) is exactly what I was looking for info on. I found that this book covered many general areas of the type/style equipment found on the models of truck listed, and had picktures of many of the models listed, but had specific info about almost NONE of the models listed.

Very good detail and lots of great original information. Very good how to for restoring any classic Ford truck. One of the best I've seen for restoring my trucks (46's & 47)and any other old Ford truck.

Before starting a rebuild of my '51 Ford pickup, I accumulated as many manuals and other written materials as I could. Brownell's book helped me to understand the crucial difference between a restoration and a rebuild, and to plan my work accordingly. I'm sure that the job will take longer and cost more than I'd hoped, but I'm equally sure I'll be happy with the end result, due in large part to the wisdom imparted by this book...

Need better description of contents of book.

I have a 1931 Ford pickup that has been partially restored. I would like more technical information on further restoration, repairs and maintenance.

I wish that you would let people get info from one of your manuals, that way we can get some info for one of our rigs. For example i have been looking for a chasis diagram for a 1977 ford f-150 custom for 8 days and no one will let me look an a manual and print out a page. think you for your assistance. Good luck to all the people that read chiltons auto manuals.

While titled as a manul for Ford trucks from 1947 to 1967, I found this book so filled with helpful advice, and practical tips and techniques, that it is worthy of being in any auto restorers library. I do have an old Ford truck that I will be doing, and I am sure the advice I have already received from a cursory review of this book will save me hundreds of times the cost of the book. If you are new to restoring old cars or trucks, this book will go a long way to helping you get started.

Very complete coverage of the topic, starting with a history of ford trucks, and disscussion of rebuilding vrs. restoring, then a how-to on restoring your pick-up. Contains a lot of how-to on all aspects of restoration and rebuilding including the interior. This book includes only model years 1946-1967, but has so much great information that I kept it even though it does not cover my model year, 1972.
