Looking for original assembly manuals for these trucks. Not the reprints...if you have let me know. Rod

Do the originals come with an index?

bobs409 · 10-14-2004, 07:53 AM

Watch on ebay, they show up there sometimes.

Rod · 10-14-2004, 08:14 PM

Yes there indexed.

I have a book and I had it made into 3 smaller books and had them binded with covers. The only bad thing is, is the paper is thin. It gives every GM Part # for everything that was put on trucks till 1972. They are a hard thing to come by, so it would have to make me think if I wanted to sell them. If the price is right then maybe.

Maybe scanning all the pages would be great, but I guess that would be a lot of work

If someone wants a little section I'll be happy to scan. I can also have copies made, but it will cost the price of copying, postage, and alittle for my time and my book.It covers Chevy trucks from 1946-1972, 1/2 ton to 1 ton, series 10-20 and 30. First part covers model #'s, ID #'s, Engine #'s, rear axle codes(what prefix, ratio, posi or no posi), Tranny #'s and ID, all the RPO's, paint #'s( lucite #, Rinshed-Mason #, and Ditzler #), and conversion list.
Then theres the index, and Finally 17 sections covering all the parts/pics of every single item that was put on a truck of these years/models.

Sounds like you have a 46-72 parts manual....thats not really what I'm after.
I'll post a pic of what I think you have.

zyggy72 · 10-16-2004, 09:59 AM

I've got that same book

teeitup · 10-16-2004, 10:56 AM

My cousin bought all the original parts books from our Chevrolet dealership when we went out of business in 84, so it was all the pre 84 stuff. He's think about putting the whole setup on ebay but not sure. I'll check with him.
