This factory service and repair manual for the 1988 Ford P-350 documents one trim, Base Stripped, on the bare chassis, and one engine, the 5.8L V8: 351 cubic inches, overhead valves, natural aspiration, gasoline. With nothing else in the lineup to sort between, the procedures, specifications, torque values, wiring diagrams and diagnostics go straight to the V8 and to the chassis Ford delivered, which is the portion of the completed vehicle that Ford engineered before the body builder took over.

Known issues on the 1988 P-350. No recalls and no owner complaints are on record with NHTSA for the 1988 model year, so the chassis carries a clean sheet. The manual's job is therefore the ordinary one: procedures, specifications, torque values, wiring diagrams and diagnostics for the naturally aspirated 5.8L V8 and for the stripped chassis that carries it in Base Stripped trim.
