This factory service manual reprint covers 1962-1963 Ford Galaxie, Galaxie 500 and Station Wagons. After combining the 1962 shop manual with the 1963 supplement, this guide comes in at over 750 pages, which have been packed with information. There are maintenance and repair procedures for all the major areas of these classic automobiles. Originally written by Ford Motor Company, this newly-printed reproduction contains all of the original content.
NOTE: The first part of this manual covers the 1962 Ford Galaxie models. The second part is a supplement which covers the 1963 Ford Galaxie models, as well as serving as a supplement covering the 1962 - 1963 Mercury Monterey models. With regards to the Mercury portion of this supplement, it is designed to be used in conjunction with the 1961 Mercury Maintenance Manual (not included).
In addition to the fine text, you'll find a huge number and variety of visual aids have been included to assist you in understanding the nature of the services being performed. The shop manual has been filled with detailed specifications conveniently located at the end of each group.
With more than a casual nod to the space race, which was fascinating the country, Ford named their full-sized cars Galaxie. Times were changing. The tailfin craze was all but over, after seeing incredible heights (especially from Cadillac) only a few years prior. Ford was more concerned with real aerodynamics, and had NASCAR at the top of their thoughts. These big Fords were capable of filling all sorts of roles. Whether your full-sized Ford (and back then they really meant full-sized!) is used for cruising, racing, commuting, showing or any combination, you'll eventually need to provide it with service. When that time comes, be sure you have the definitive source to get the jobs done right. That source is this shop manual.
