This factory service and repair manual for the 1982 Ford L800 covers a medium-conventional straight truck in Base trim with two gasoline V8 options: the 6.1L V8 (370 cu in) and the 7.0L V8 (429 cu in), the larger of which is an overhead-valve engine offered on propane as well as gasoline. Both are naturally aspirated. The manual's procedures, specifications and torque values separate the two engines and the LPG fuel system from the gasoline one, while its wiring diagrams and diagnostics cover the single straight-truck chassis the L800 was built on for this year.
