For helping keep this great
old truck web site

Will soon be shipping out offshore again. I have recently scanned a bunch of Chevy manuals and booklets (900+ pages) to format later during my off watch time for inclusion on the Old Online Chevy Manuals site.
What I am now looking to see if any of you have and can scan are some of the "Service Booklets" that were used with the discussional slide films sent out to the Chevy Service Departments. Most of these booklets where 30 to 40 pages and measure about 5-1/2 by 8-1/2 inches.
Here is a sample of one of the booklets online: Servicing the 1955 Eight-Cylinder Two-Barrel Carburetor - TOP-55-25 S&M and this is a bunch more: Chevrolet Sales, Service & Training Booklets
I am hoping I can get enough scanned booklets to fill in some of my off watch time while offshore and will have them all finished when I get home to put online.
If you have any and can scan them, please email me, khardy3830@yahoo.com
Cheers and Thanks!

I do not have very much original paper, in fact I don’t have any at all since I just got back into restoration last year, but if any of you do, please help Keith out. This is a great opportunity to share this information. He is doing the hard part, that is, the posting of the material and maintaining the site, the easy part is seeing that Keith gets the material to put there. This is the single most complete archive for early Chevrolet literature that exists and it is offered freely to the public. Of course if ya want to help out with a buck or to that’s OK also. Come on ya all, don’t Bogart that paper, pass it around if ya got it! Besides, you don't want him to get bored out there in the middle of the ocean do ya! Denny Graham Sandwich, IL

I do have a poorly copied restro pack from Chevy if you want it. I do mean POORLY copied. It is difficult to read with what I have.

What year is the "resto-pack?"

I don't have the Resto-Pack for the 1952 Chevy Trucks. This page: Restoration Packs & Specifications Data shows what are online now. Can I get a copy of yours?
Cheers!

Thanks for your efforts.

Do it to it! I'll use that material for the site.

Another booklet: Servicing the 1955 Chevrolet Overdrive - TOP 55-13 S&M contributed by Ronald Gissiner.
Bill, received the '58 resto-pack you sent. Will be a while before I get through it for the web. Thanks for sending!
Cheers! | | | | | Joined: Feb 2006 Posts: 428 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Feb 2006 Posts: 428 | Keith, Sorry about how long it took to get back to you. I will be happy to copy the 52 Resto-pack. How do you want it? I can copy it to a file then zip it with Winzip. Or if you want in some other format let me know. Plus let me know where to send it. I can't tell you when I will get it copied, but as soon as I am finished I will send it to you.

If you can scan and save as .jpg would be just fine! I prefer the images "as is" without any photo editing or clean up. Depending on the size of the pages, they can sometimes be emailed in several batches. Otherwise they can be copied to a CD, drop me an email and I'll send you my mailing address.

Is there a site similar to your's that would have service manuals for equipment. We are going to have to find one for the John Deere Gator.
Also, is the Resto Pack you all are talking about the same as the Restoration Kit request information we have in the Tech Tip Section? If so, we should like to your's so people will have an idea of what's in the Kit. (Unless -- from another post -- it has yet another new name!)

Can't wait for John to get home to show him this. Just what he needs ... something else to do.
I think our model is pretty basic. We got one before they were cool ... we don't even have a cup holder!!
But ... ahh ... my brother is coming down from Ohio this weekend. He's a retired Air Force mechanic-type person. He would prefer to go mess around in the shop than have to sit around with four sisters!!
Thanks Bill!

I see everything BUT! I really need that manual. All I see is Shop, maintenance, owners manuals. Have these been avoided on purpose or did I miss them?

What is online on the site is what I have been able to obtain so for. If you have some of the assembly manuals, send them my way and I'll get them online.

I am still on the boat in Louisiana for another week or so....
If anyone has good info they can share for the Old Online Chevy Manuals site, they can be sent to:
Keith Hardy c/o S. Michael 16123 Darrian Lane Houston, Texas 77049
This is where my mail goes when I am away from home.
Cheers and thanks to all who have participated with collecting this info for all to use!
