Won BID on original GM Chev C10/20/30 Workshop Manual

Hi Guys,

I came across this original workshop manual on a local site BidorBuy (like Ebay) and I bid for this manual and I won it....yipeeeee

Here is the quote from the advert: "no date of print, softcover - book is about A4 size, VERY thick and heavy book, the softcover has marks and has been handled, spots and stains on a few pages, the text is clean and the binding good, shipping R60 in RSA- NO overseas shipping"

here is some pics of the manual along with GM South Africa printed on the book.









I am so happy with my find, whadda ya guys think?

Z.

Good find for sure! I wouldn't think there would be many of those floating around down there.

Thanks guys.

@LockDoc - agree I have not seen another 1 locally down here, there might be a few kicking around.

The fact that its a localized version also makes it a little harder to find because it will be specific to trucks imported into SA.

Thumbs up Re: Won BID on original GM Chev C10/20/30 Workshop Manual

Very good indeed ! .

I'm assuming it has al the RHD details....

Books are always good , most folks who buy them , never actually read them oddly enough .

Nate, I have not checked it and that's a good point I assume this will cover RHD models, but will advise once I have it in my hands.

Agree to your point, we only refer to them once we need something specific...

But I don't mind just having it as part of the collection of Chev books for the truck.
