The Ford Barn

somewhere i read a book about Ford maintenance. in the initial chapters, reference was made, complete with nicely done line drawings, of fixtures which could be built to make the work easier.

obviously this was before consumer-culture and such things were not available down at the corner store. ramps, workbenches, and engine cradles, were among the pieces i remember.

anyone know which book, or of any book, illustrating these items in their period correct (pre-war) guise?

actually, any book showing how to set up a pre-war garage would be helpful.

thanks

Ford's book "Ford service manual" for the Model T has a nice drawing in it.
