Looking for 1997 SMB E350 Owners Manual/Documentation

All,
New here...just bought a 1997 2wd SMB E350 (V10) and we're the 3rd or 4th owners. As such we're missing some of the original documentation that came with it. Does anyone have access to the 1994-1997 version of documents available to scan or photocopy? Sportsmobile recommended I ask within the forums si I can't imagine there are any copyright issues.

Happy to pay for scanning/photocopy and shipping.

Also looking for a way to get the original Build Sheet. Sportsmobile says I need the original owners name (b/c that's how they filed older builds, and not by VIN which is what I assumed), so that seems to be a lost cause unless anyone has another idea.

Thanks.

-Josh

I just bought a 1997 SMB and it does have the original binder/owners manual. I could probably do some scanning for ya. I'll take a better look at it.

Good news/bad news.

Good news you can go to
https://www.fleet.ford.com/maintenance/ ... efault.asp

and download owners manuals.

Bad news is there isn't any listing for 1997-1999 but there is a 1996 manual.

Better news
If you go to the link on the above page:

If you are looking for shop manuals, EBay is always the cheapest solution

Thanks, that's a good start. I'm looking more specifically for the Sportsmobile documentation in addition to the Ford manual.

I realize that you're looking for SMB documentation, but here is a good source for Ford documentation.

Many thanks to gnty for some serious scanning. I think I've got all that I need. Much appreciated.

Re: Looking for 1997 SMB E350 Owners Manual/Documentation

Hi;

This kind of information, now scanned, should be posted to the wiki.

I hope that you or gnty would post it as a resource for all.

Regards,

Gavin

wiki does have a 2004 and a 2008 Sportsmobile Manual. So we need a something from then 1990's and how about one of the new ones, 201x.

Happy to upload to wiki if ok by gnty...I assume it is, given Alan at SMB West was the one who told me to get someone to scan it for me...

It's in multiple sections, but I will look at it and see what can work best for the wiki.
