i saw that but forgot after i kept reading.

That web site tells you what's in it. That is neat. Guess I could have done a search. But I should have been working. I shoulda anyway. Thanks Andy

I got a 68 resto pack like to get a 69. Let me know who needs a copy...Would be happy to email a scan...

67CHIP72 · 05-13-2009, 11:32 PM

This info need not cost a dime. I had them send me two for free awhile back and would like to offer anyone who needs one for a 72 for free. Just PM me and I'll get around to scanning it and email it to you.

ZombieWeinerDog · 05-13-2009, 11:48 PM

what exactly do you want?

red71c10 · 05-14-2009, 12:45 AM

I'll PM you.

Thanks!

**leddzepp** · 05-14-2009, 11:27 AM

It doesn't tell you anything specific about your truck. A waste of money IMHO.

**michael bustamante** · 05-14-2009, 12:41 PM

I ordered one for my 67 about 3 months ago. . . . still waiting.

The Canadian one is worth the $50.00 (plus applicable taxes), IMHO. It has lots of neat information, like the date is was built and shipped, What dealer took delivery of it what options (if any) it came equipped with.

lts70 · 05-14-2009, 03:28 PM

Thanks 67CHIP72 and mark 68 I will take you up on the offer for scans, PM's sent and rep points given!!

Does anyone have 67,69,70,or 71 that they would be willing to scan and email?

Worked for me. Thanks for taking the time to scan and email!

red71c10 · 05-15-2009, 09:23 AM

I called GM a couple of times to try a different rep and see if I could still weasel one out of them for free, but it's $50 now. Website says the same thing.

mark 68 · 05-15-2009, 10:15 AM

Its a lot of pages but ill try to start on it tonight.. A friend at my job has the 69 so i'm trying to help him out on finding a copy for him.

mark 68 · 05-15-2009, 10:31 AM

Started to get nervous but i found my copy its about 1/2 inch thick double sided copies so it may take a little while..

VanceH · 05-15-2009, 10:38 AM

What the hell is it??? I am dying to know??

LOL

Thanks

mark 68 · 05-16-2009, 11:06 AM

50 pages down about 70 still to go. And to answer vance h its a stack of copied pages that go in to detail about options for that year some motor and transmission specs and even some frame measurements. Not really worth 50$ but still kind of neat.....

I think someone linked "what the hell it is" in post #26

mark 68 · 05-18-2009, 12:39 PM

still working on scanning the pack. 90 down and 30 to go.

ChevLoRay · 05-18-2009, 01:29 PM

I gotta shop manual (Original - $30) and the book that the dealerships used when you wanted to order one new ($75). Since the privacy laws keep us from learning any of the history of our vehicles AND since the Resto Pack doesn't include anything about when the vehicle was built or to which dealer it was shipped to, there's nothing about the Resto Pack that appeals to me.

Get me some specific data for MY truck and I'll think, but then I'm quickly losing interest in my disassembled vehicle. Yeah, it's like that at my house.
