Truck Manuals...Which are best to have?

I know that I need to get a 67-72 assembly manual, but I just bought both the chassis service ($15) and chassis overhaul manuals ($13). Both are originals in good condition. Good prices, or did I get hosed? Also, what is the difference between these two? Any others I should look for?

Re: Truck Manuals...Which are best to have?

Those are good manuals to have and the prices were good. The Assembly Manual has a lot of information in it, (although finding it is time consuming). There is a lot of information available on web sites such as this one and with your present manuals (and an Assembly Manual) you should have things covered pretty well.

Where can I find the Helms books? Are they still made? Thanks for all of the feedback.

I went with the Detroit Iron CD. Tons of good information (original shop manuals) in there.
