Which would be my better choice of books, the shop repair manual or the assembly manual? I have a 1949 6400 and I don't know which or if either book covers my big truck. Any and all comments are welcome. Thanks, Mike :confused:

I personally prefer the old MOTORS manuals if you can find them

Hey Mike -- Welcome to the Stovebolt Page, by the way! Don't be a stranger and make sure you check out the rest of the site (use the menu bar at the top if you haven't already).

About the manuals -- Personally, I use the shop manual for both of my '49's (3800 and 4400) much more than the assembly manual. Besides, the assembly manual I got covers the 54 and 55 1st series, which seem to be enough different from the '47 through '53 that the book is not that useful to me. So make sure you check the maual to see that it covers the first series AD's and not the latter.

Be sure to check the Tech Tips, too. Woogeroo has put together a recommended reading list you might find helpful.

Regards,
John

Hey CMCpanel -- You don't have to call me darlin', darlin. You never even called me by my name...
