Assembly manual
If I get an assembly manual, will it tell me how to remove EVERYTHING? I'd like to take the front fenders off to work on the engine much easier. Should I just pull the engine with a cherry pciker instead?

It will show you have everything is put together via exploded views - It also has info like were seam seal is used, gap clearances, etc.. There isn't any instruction in the book on HOW to disassemble everything.

my opinion is the factory overhaul manuals are very good in the instructions but suck at the pics. I like the pics from the assembly manual and I have the haynes manual has good exploded view of the carbs.
so moral is get as many info books as you can get (the haynes I could probably do without. jay

After about a year of collecting/reading books I found that a combination of books work depending on what you're doing. They haynes book works well complimented with either the kit's instruction manual you've bought + a specialty book on that subject, like carburetors or engine work. Front-end work I found that the guys here were most helpful. The books threw out basic instructions on stuff, but glossed over the spots where problems could occur. Plus there's just some things that you have to experience.
The assembly manual was only helpful for me in the respect of knowing the truck. So far it hasn't helped me much. The chasis manual gave me some background on the differential and drivetrain, but that was about it. Unless you're working on an engine, carb, transmission, driveline, or differential you really have to use common sense, and find resources that help you in a general way. Other than that the books on "How to build a SBC", and "Rochester Carbs" were helpful in specific things.
