Detroit Iron CD Manuals

May 21, 2004 2 Replies

Just got my 1970 Ford factory shop manuals on CD from rockauto.com. The CD includes five manuals covering all 1970 trucks. Looks pretty good so far, more specific and accurate info than Chilton's.


I have the CD also but prefer the hard copy original shop manuals. They are often available on eBay for $40 or so. I like the idea of the CD but the DetroitIron version that I have is merely a scan of every page of the shop manual. It doesn't allow searching or indexing. I guess having both is the best way to go. jor

The Paper Port viewer is not as good as Adobe Acrobat, that's for sure. I will probably eventually print out the relevant pages for my truck.
