Slick 60's

In my continuing efforts at constructing VIN decoder pages for FORDification.info, I've recently purchased the following Ford 100-800 series manuals on E-bay:

- 1961 Ford
- 1962 Ford Supplement
- 1962 Ford/Mercury Supplement
- 1962-63 Ford Supplement
- 1962-63 Ford/Mercury Supplement

What I don't have (yet?) is the 1961 Ford/Mercury manual. Really the only reason I'd need this one is for the 'Truck Identification' information on the first 3-4 pages, and at the present time would prefer not having to purchase this manual just to verify that the Canadian Ford info in the '62 Ford/Mercury supplement is the same as the info in the '61 Ford/Mercury manual. So...

Can anyone out there who has the 1961 Ford/Mercury shop manual post pics of the first few pages containing the 'Truck Identification' info? It can either be a scan or even a decent-quality cell-phone pic....as long as it's very readable. I can then compare the info in the '61 and '62 and note any differences...and get these pages finished up.

Thank you!

I have that. This is the first page from my other thread, but it looks like I didn't take any photos of the following pages. I'll add some when I get a chance. There are definitely some differences between '61 and '62/63.

Sounds good...thanks! Yep, I did save that pic from your thread, it's the next couple pages I really need.

Thank you mercuryv8! This is what I needed to finish those pages.

Wait a minute...no it's not! LOL Those are the specs for the U.S built trucks...I'm needing the Canadian-built truck specs. Suppose I could get you to get me shots of those pages instead? Thanks!

Mine is the same. Canadian-built on page 1 and the first part of page 2, then it switches to data on the US-built trucks.

I dont know if Fordification has any interest in it, but I have the Australian version of the above manual for the RHD slicks.

Definitely interested! I'd love to include the Australian information too! I'll send you a PM. Thanks!

As requested!

Awesome! Thank you for those, they'll definitely help out on the VIN decoder pages.

Leeroy: Just to be clear, the images you posted are from the 1965 Ford of Australia shop manual, correct?

I actually think it's a 69 manual, but it has index tabs for years 65-69 and covers back to 65. It also has the big slicks. I can post more pics if you like?

Absolutely, please do! I've never seen one of these before, so it's likely I won't see another for quite a while. I think the thing that I'd be most interested in are the warranty tag decoding pages for each model year generally shown in the General Information section at the front. A shot of the front cover page would be great too, mainly for publication identification purposes. Thank you!

Will do! Just setting up for Christmas here right now so give me a couple of days

So this is what I have,
I bought it to decode my own slick off fleabay some time back.

Says it was printed Feb 1969, I believe its a 65 manual that has tabs for the parts that were different between years 66-69. Surprisingly not that much was changed other than the sheet metal.






This is the index for the book, but then it has much smaller sections for the other years with whatever parts have different part numbers





1967





1968. Sadly, the book doesn't list the breakdown of the codes for 1968 or 1969, not sure if they are the same as previous years.



1969

Thanks for sharing those Leeroy! The info in those pages will make a great addition to the site. (and let me know if you're ever interested in selling that!)
