Check out your local library. Ours has factory service manuals for many
makes and models, year by year. (until they get stolen).
Failing that, goto a local Ford dealership.
Failing that, goto a bunch of autowreckers and look in the glove boxes of
appropriate trucks. Visit regularily. The manuals don't stay around very
long when a "new" vehicle arrives.
