Windveil Blues
OLD FART
I went up to the Ford dealer near work where I have purchased no less than ten vehicles since moving to Missouri in May of 1989. I picked up some locking header bolts for the Stang and a window motor for my 2001 Ranger. I saw a parts book laying on the counter and asked if I could buy a copy and the guy said sure... that'll be 5 bucks.
I know there has been discussion on here about FRPP being 'covered under factory warranty,' or under 'service warranty,' but I found something in this FRPP book that you should all be aware of if you're not already.
Below is what I scanned from the inside cover of this FRPP parts catalog. Hopefully this will clear things up a bit.
