Question on Factory manuals - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

grebus1 · 09-09-2003, 05:41 PM

Can anyone tell me what the difference is between the 1972 Factory Service manual (covers trucks only) and the 1972 Factory Overhaul Manual (covers cars and trucks)? I have the service manual, but would like to expand my collection and have seen several of the overhaul manuals on Ebay. Just want to make sure it's worth the $$$!

Overhaul manual give you detailed instructions that are no longer in the service manual, such as engine rebuild, carb rebuild and other heavy maintenance items. My repair manual for my 52 has all of that in it, but there were only two engines that were very similar.
