Owner Manual recommendations
I have my 71 at Mikes house while we work on it. I'd like to get a repair manual for when it comes to my casa. What would you all recommend.
Second, my "Bestop" soft top is in the mail from a criaglist purchase. It is not a "supertop" because the tag only says "Bestop" and there were not any pics. The owner said he never used it when he bought the rig 5 years ago. BTW It was only $10 and the owner said it had a lot of the hardware. I figure for $10 + shipping it was worth it. I don't know if I'll have all the hardware, brackets...so I was looking online for parts/directions but only found directions for the "Supertop". Any ideas?
Thanks, Shawn "Gregg"

Re: Owner Manual recommendations
If you're looking for a repair manual, go to BC Broncos and get the digitized shop manuals on CD for about $35.

Re: Owner Manual recommendations
Second that. Preliminary shop manuals and the detailed Ford shop manuals for Broncos are amazing. I still have my sets for the '66, purchased on eBay several years ago for a sight more than 35 bucks. Many a greasy thumbprint in there now. If you prefer paper, there are several vendors on eBay who are selling reproduction copies.

Re: Owner Manual recommendations
Awesome...
Was wondering about a good manual and haven't been to the vendors site in a while (or looked around when I was there...that's my real excuse).
Billie...can you scan in the hub manual pages for me and send them to me?
Great to hang with you today...and you really don't have to wash that awesome rid... he he!

Re: Owner Manual recommendations
If you have time, I would love a .pdf copy as well. Thanks Billie.

Re: Owner Manual recommendations
I will take it to work with me tomorrow and see if the entire thing will scan. If it does I'll post up here and load it in the Helpful Links section. If not I will make a copy for those that need one.=)

Re: Owner Manual recommendations
I can't get it to scan right front and back...but you're welcome to use it anytime you like. I will do some looking around and see if I can't find the pdf at home.
