I just got off the phone with Keith Hardy. He will be adding new stuff to his site fairly soon. We hope to give him more space so that the new folks can become familiar with what he has on his site in the way of important materials related to their trucks.
But ... one thing he told me about, which was a PLEASANT surprise, GM has finally put some of their material in their Heritage Center on-line for download.
It took some hunting, but the two that I found looked like good info and even just fun looking at.
These are the Vehicle Information Kits. "As we continue to digitize our vehicle archives, we will add additional kits to this section. Please note that some of these files may be quite large. As such, they may take a long time to load on slow connections."
There is a section called
Chevrolet Trucks (All Models Not Listed Below) and you'll need to click on "show" in order to see the years ... from 1930 to 2000!
Remember when they mailed these to us for free? Then, they started charging for it? Me thinks they realized there was a big interest in "old truck stuff." Hoo-ray!
The other cool link was their
Historical Brochures. "The pamphlets below come from the files of the GM Heritage Center archive. They represent a small but varied sample of the types of documents, pamphlets and automobilia preserved by General Motors. We are pleased to provide the items on this page to download free of charge." It does cover a lot of different topics and the front covers are shown with titles for the link, so it's real easy to see what you might want to look at.
Back to Keith, he has over 350 manuals, brochures, bulletins, etc.
listed on his main page of his On-line Chevy Manuals site. There are over 25,000 pages. He has more scanned and will upload them as soon as he gets back to sea.
We will keep smattering this info out there, especially as people find a resource ... please link to Keith's site - and even the manual itself! Whatever helps. Keith said he has unlimited band width so we are good with not overloading him. And with the donations he's gotten, he just keeps buying more manuals!
Way to go!
Glad to see GM has come around.
We'll fix this in the links page ... and I need to re-do that old tech tip about the Restoration Kit!
