In case some haven't thought of it yet, check out your local old books book stores for books on our trucks.

I went to one close to me and found a good as new
Chevy Truck ID Numbers 1946-1972 which sells at places for 19.95. I paid 12.00. They have one more left too.

This same store had alot of chiltons and haynes manuals and other manuals and books for all kinds of vehicles. Even some books on the history of American Trucks, and some shop manuals.
There is another one I will check out too near me for any books like this that I can use.

Just thought some of you might be interested in this.

Being a librarian, I couldn’t resist jumping into this one. There is potentially every book ever written on our trucks available to us through a system called “interlibrary loan.” Here’s how it works:

1. Go to your local public library and see if they have the title you’re looking for. Here in Phoenix for example, the central library has most of the shop manuals, Chilton’s, and Haynes for 67-72 Chevy pickups. Many are in a reference collection so you need to photocopy the sections you need. Others just check out.
2. If your library doesn’t have a copy (or lost it or part of it because some low life scum stole it or razored it up) you can request from your library’s interlibrary loan office (most public, community college, etc. libraries have one) to borrow a book or photcopies of a portion of the book.
3. You have to request an exact title and be willing to pay for copying, shipping and/or handling (usually low cost, sometimes free) If you can give ‘em an ISBN #, so much the better.
4. On average, it takes about 2 weeks to get something but if you’re in a hurry some places will fax of FedEx for added cost. Remember go to your local library and make the request. The library that has what you want in the next state won’t work with individuals outside of their service area- just library to library on your behalf.

Wondering how many titles are out here? If you can access a database called WorldCat (many public libraries have it for you) and search for keywords “Chevrolet pickups” it shows that there are 49 books, 5 magazines, and one Internet database dedicated to the topic. “Chevy trucks” yields over 100 items! There’s gold in them thar hills folks!
