I'd say go ahead and look at Motor's Auto Repair Manuals, but you might find that the information in them is aimed at jobbers; peopole who do it for money. I'm no mechanic, and I find them rough going sometimes. I thought the factory shop manual - I have a reprint "Chevrolet Truck Shop Manual covering 1948 to 1951 models, includes 1952 supplement" - easier to read. It seems aimed at farmers; Guys with no more than a basic knowledge of mechanics, who could nonetheless read and understand basic English.
