I have seen references to the "green book" several times. What is the best source for getting one ?? Thanks Dick

Mac's Antique Auto Parts has it in both hardcopy and a searchable CD version.

P.S. The official title is the "Ford Chassis Parts and Accessories Catalog"

Most of the V-8 parts suppliers carry copies of the "green book". Keep in mind that what you see in the book is not always correct for specific cars. The book list parts that will fit a car, but the part may be for later year, etc. It is a helpful book(I have one), but don't depend on it to be 100% correct.

When I bought my copy 25 years ago Faxon's (http://www.faxonautoliterature.com/products.cfm?sid=39076180O63930142707002C1185298776254Y76U171U32U169Q18338546E413&vt=1007&mk=6201&yr=1928) had the lowest price for what appeared to be the same product everyone else was selling. Their site currently shows $69 for the book. Charlie Stephens

You can obtain the "green book" either as an actual book, or on disk from C&G 800/266-0460. Item # FPS-3633, $100. The disk is nice, as you can print off the diagrams, etc, and use in the garage without covering the actual book with greasy fingerprints. All of our shop manuals are now on disk, and are a big improvement over shelves full of books. The last printing of the actual "green book" was in late 1950, so it isn't always the last word. However, it is essential for any serious Ford hobbyist.

I bought a repro copy of the 49-50-51 Shop Manual on ebay for just under $20 plus shipping. It's a pretty handy reference book. Cheers, Scott. 1949 Custom Tudor. http://i36.photobucket.com/albums/e42/35thLE/49016.jpg

While the Green Book is a good resource, do not use it to define what is correct for your particular year model of car. The Green Book has listing for parts that would work when it was originally published in 1950. If you are going to put your car on the Concourse for judging, use the catalogs for your specific car and the Club's book for your car. Anything that is not covered in those resources, should be checked with the Adviser for your car. Tom
