Where did you buy you chassis service and factory assembly manuals from?

Team:

Looking for a vendor or location that sells a good reprint of these manuals. I have heard some are not as good as reprints as others.

Please provide your input.

Mahalo.

Re: Where did you buy you chassis service and factory assembly manuals from?

For the shop and service manual I got originals off fleabay. For the assembly manual I got one from a forum vendor. I later got a digital version of the assembly manual and have not opened the hard copy since. The digital version is top notch, searchable, and if needed you can print out a page or two. I have it on my laptop and iPad which came in very handy when I spiffied up my truck last year. The digital version also from fleabay, Dave Graham Auto Literature, just search for 1970 Chevy truck assembly manual.

LeeH:

Another great post, thanks. That is good to know on the electronic version because I am definitely on the fence. I have always loved a hard copy to my literature, but I have heard the FAM is a beast of a book.

I downloaded a FAM index from one of our forum posts, which could help in that arena with a hard copy. I keep my eye on fleabay for originals, getting to the point that I can't wait for an original and need the book; if that makes sense.

Mahalo,
