Has anybody heard of anybody selling the (AIM) for Chevy Pick-Up
Trucks? All of the Chevrolet Cars are available. They must have had
them on the assembly line. Comments Please.

GM tends to call them "factory assembly manual". I have on for my old 67-72 and one for my 68 elcamino. I'm sure they're out there for the square bodies as well.

We called them PADs (Product Assembly Documents) or later on PDMs (Product Description Manuals). We still use them, even today, although they are an electronic version.

I also see them from time to time on ebay or other book places.

I (personally) don't have any old ones, as we used to throw them away when we were done with them....
