Newbi needs list of recommended manuals for 1973 Bronco

[WPS 73 Bronco]

I recently purchased my first Ford, as I'm a corvette guy. I bought a 73 Bronco Ranger a few weeks ago and I need advice on what are the best manuals I need to purchase. I'm starting with the owners manual and I've seen a Bronco Body & Interior Assembly Manual and it looks like a good one. I've also seen the 73-77 truck repair book by "Chilton" and others. Both of my corvettes (64 & 72) are restomods that I've built.

So what do I need?

Thanks
Chris

The Ford truck shop manual set is what I would recommend. Ebay is best source. Here is one example, but plenty more listed.

All the Chilton ones are good to have

Thanks. I ordered a set of the Ford truck manual. I’ll pickup the Chilton at the local part store.

Heads up on the 73 Ford shop manuals. Mine shows the T-shift dana 20 transfer case, but my 73 has a J-shift. I don't know if they came out with a supplement about the change, or if they just ignored it. Or if my manual was a short lived version to start the model year, & was updated shortly afterward. :shrug
