    Where to find a decent shop manual? Ford dealer tells me that they can no longer get shop manuals. Parts house tells me that Chilton/Haynes don't have one.

    I need to do some pretty substantial front end, suspension and steering work and don't want to tackle it without the manual.

    Thanks
