Nothing like running a thread compleatly off its tracks

Kultulz asks

"So it is a CROSS REFERENCE CATALOG you have?"

I have MCR (Master Cross Reference) books from the first one in Nov of 1953 , then 1954,1956,1957, 1959. Those were my original primary focus.

Also acquired the MCR books from Oct 61,Oct 63,April 64,April 66, Oct 67, Oct 70 and Oct 71.

The OSI books that I have are Ford- Jan 55 , Merc /Lincoln Nov 56 , Ford July 57 , Ford 60 and Ford - June 61.

Kultulz says

"Nice to have either or both."

Yes,it is

I find myself using the MCR books more than anything else.

There"s also the usual array of 55,56,57 (year of) Ford parts and shop manuals.

Mercury and Edsel manuals and T.S.B.s along with some Ford T Bird proprietary documentation a bunch of price sheet books and much more.

I must say that I have a pretty reference decent library but I am always seeking more books.

I"m sure you know that year specific information is routinely deleted from the Master Parts Catologues such as the 49-59 "Blue Bible".

That missing information is what started my search for the real parts information years ago.
