There are two pamphlets, one is simply a list of vendors of replacement part and the other is a listing of all the specs for the 1950 model year. All this is available at chevy.tocmp.com which I downloaded and printed out a couple of weeks ago. I was under the impression that I was going to get the production spec sheet for my individual truck. Was I expecting to much or did they slip up and not send me all the information for the Restoration Kit??

for my Canadian GMC, I got from GM an official letter with the date of manufacture, a breakdown of the VIN, about a one half inch thick stack of double sided Engineering specs and the advertisements. Some information was missing so they sent me some more for the next year.

Just like you I got my restoration kit a couple weeks ago and all I got was the vendors sheet and specs for my 57. Was going to ask the same question but you beat me to it. I Thought I read in another thread that the "official letter" that truckernix described was part of every package not just the Canadian trucks. Evidently not so. Good luck on your project. | | | | | Joined: Jul 2006 Posts: 100 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Jul 2006 Posts: 100 | Denny
I when I got mine restoration package for my 51 the acessories page was not coped stright. called any asked for another one and the samething again. I then tried to get GM to send me 50 and a 52 to see if any changes but they would not send me any for those years because.
So could you or if any body has a good copy of for 51 send me a copy. Just the accessorie page | | | | | Joined: Oct 2006 Posts: 9,671 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Oct 2006 Posts: 9,671 | David, Everything that I got from Chevrolet, I had downloaded from here a week or so before I contacted them. http://chevy.tocmp.com/ Denny Graham Sandwich, IL

I also think it helps them log how many and what year Chevrolets are being, will be, have been restored. It probably helps the design guys with new models by the look of the SSR. | | |
