Does anyone here have the Dave Graham '32-'41 Service Manual? If so, is it worthwhile shop reference material? I ran across one online and the reviews are mixed.

Thanks,

I had that manual and thought it to be of little use. Internet searches will provide anything in the book. IMHO

That book and many others titled "shop manual " are of little use as any info is already in the Ford service bulletins, small Ford books like transmission repair, etc and the chassis parts books. The closest you will get to a shop manual is the reprint of the Canadian one from years ago. It is a good one to get someone started.

As mentioned above, this manual was a BIG disappointment. Information you really need is not there, or is barely referenced. Not a very valuable resource IMO.
