Just got off the phone with Chevy, got my restoration pack coming. I have to say, that was far and above my best phone experience EVER! I only had to bounce 3 times on the computer switchboard, then was connected with an extremely nice operator that processed my request in about 5 minutes. Even got thru on the 1st call

(and yes, i DID ask them to reintroduce the AD series trucks wink )

Chevy phone # - 1-800-222-1020, have your VIN handy.

be safe

an idea is only stupid if you think about it rationally.

You folks south of the border are lucky with those resto packs. We have to pay $25 plus tax and all we get are specs on American built trucks (photocopies at that) which don't really help up here. I did get at breakdown of where and when my truck was built and delivered which is nice, but hardly worth 25 bucks. They also claimed that only 5900 models of my particular truck were built! Can't figure that part out unless they are including color combinations and interiors.

It's basically a photocopy of the Chevy's technical documentation for your year truck along with a booklet of vendors of Chevy repro and restoration parts.

Read all about it here over in the Tech Tips section.

Don't forget that there is a lot more to the 'bolt than the forums. Spend some time with the links at the top of the page.

Less than a week ago, I ordered a restoration pack for my 1953 Pickup. It arrived today (Friday) via UPS. Exact copy of the specs issued 3-16-53 from the Engineering Department of GM's Chevy Central Office.

Along with it came a document called "Past Model Information" that contains information on extended storage, etc. I have not read it yet; will give a further report!

Great service, and they got the model and year right, too.

Does GM have these for GMC trucks or only for Chevies?
