Where do I get a complete expanded view of my vehicle?

Question

I have a 1998 Ford F-150. I would like to find a repair manual that has the entire vehicle expanded (it may be called "exploded"). I know mechanics used something like this years ago, but I can't find it now. A lot of repair manuals will show you how to change the oil and change filters. I want one that will show me how to take the door apart and fix the window assembly and how to put it back together. And other such detailed items. I have a Haynes and a Chiltons, but they don't have everything. I want everything.

Thank you all. These are all excellent answers. I will try them all and see which one yields the quickest results. It's going to be difficult to choose the best answer. The answers from the runners up are in no way inferior answers. Sincere thanks.

Answer 2

You would have to go to the Ford Dealership and ask for whats called a complete manual for the year of the truck that you have. It should have everything about your truck. It is more expensive than Haynes or Chilton manuals, but it goes into everything about your truck. It usually costs around $75 - $100 for this manual. But it is worth it if you plan on doing a lot of repairs or if you plan on having the truck for a while.

Answer 3

You need what is called a crash book for body repairs. You can also find a dvd or cd on Ebay. You'll just have to look.
Also, go to your local body shop, I'm sure they would not mind parting with an old version of a crash book, they are updated every year.

MITCHELL my friend it might cost you about 10 bucks and a lot of time but, go to the library and fotocopy a repair manual. I did it today for my 98 one ton chevrolet.
