When I purchased my project, I thought it was a 1940 Chevrolet KC 1/2 ton pickup, so I purchased a 1940 Shop Manual and a Master Parts Catalog through 1950.
I have found that it is a 1940 cab on a 1947 frame with a 1937-'39 bed...and a 1954 engine.
As I move slowly forward getting the parts together to start the engine, I realize that my 1940 shop manual may not be appropriate for the 1954 engine that is in the vehicle.
Should I pick up a reprint of the 1954 Chevrolet Shop Manual (which would have a lot of information that is not applicable to my project) or is there a more appropriate source I should pursue that is engine specific?

Thanks!
