The first complete issue of Ford’s technical service bulletin combines 1964 car and light-truck specifications with practical corrections for brakes, carburetion, starting, lighting, suspension and wipers. Complete 16-page periodical issue, not a full vehicle shop manual. Original incidental parts/promotional pages are retained for completeness. Historical procedures and specifications require checking applicability to the exact vehicle.
