Recently the Old Online Chevy Manuals were moved to a dedicated server along with The Old Car Manual Project. Some of the data from the Chevy Manuals did not make the original move and has now hopefully been corrected. If there are any bad links or images, please use the email link on the site to let me know and I'll fix it when I can.

I frequently send people to look at your manuals, they are very helpful.

Found a few other manuals that didn't make the move.... So getting them when I can.
Hey Steve, (OldSub) I think you are probably one of the few Stovebolters I have met from this site..... Glad the manuals have been of good use to you.
Cheers!

Bill | | | | | Joined: Oct 2006 Posts: 9,671 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Oct 2006 Posts: 9,671 | Same here Keith, I've found your work invaluable to my own work and find myself referring people to it on a regular basis. I go back to the days when a few pages of the Motor's Auto Repair Manual were the only reference material available to us, so you can understand how much of a help TOCMP has been to me. So a BIG thanks from here. On another note, I'm once again having a problem with the links that you've posted and it's the same problem that I have with all of the links that Tim L. posts. The address is about a page long when I look at the properties. I still haven't heard a reply that makes any sense to me as to why the mile long links that you guys are posting won't work but the simple direct links that are in my example work just fine. Now posting this link for example, takes me right to the “Old Online Chevy Manual’s” page: http://chevy.oldcarmanualproject.com/ I can get to the TOCMP HOME page by using the simple address: http://www.tocmp.com/ but not by using the loooooong link posted in the thread. I've also noticed that when I go to the HOME page at TCOMP all that you have listed there are brochures and I haven’t found a link to any of the other manuals. For instance when I select, Chevrolet it produces a list of Models Of Chevrolet, when I select 1950 Chevrolet that brings up a long list of numbered brochures all labeled 1950 Chevrolet Car Brochure #---, which when I open, is literature for other makes of vehicles such as Ford or Mercury.

Is there a reason why the 1960 only has a radio shop manual but no true shop manual that year? Does it not exist or is it just not available? I have not been able to find it online. I have been tearing down my old 1960 235 that someone put in my '54 and I didn't want to continue any further without a manual to reference. Thank you for your time. This Thank You to Keith cannot be made too often. However, the 1960 Manual question has been triple posted in the last 24 hours. You will find that many people look in all the fora, or they look at the "Active Topics" post, above (then at "Active Posts"). There is really no need to post the same question in multiple fora - that results in partial answers and same answers in multiple places (and some confusion). | | | | | Joined: Mar 2011 Posts: 1,146 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Mar 2011 Posts: 1,146 | Thanks for all your efforts, Keith. This project is a big help to the community. I second that thought. Old Online Chevy Manuals is invaluable to the Stovebolt forum with the ability to cross reference parts, among its many other benefits. With the ultimate goal of helping others with common interest.

I was right in the middle of trying to get the cam gear cover off last night and I needed a quick reference at that moment. With grease up to my elbows, I was hoping that someone would have had a link of my motor's manual. It was worth a shot to get me out of a jam. I hope I didn't come off as a cheapskate trying to get something for nothing. I am very appreciative for any one that takes the time to share including Keith that seems as he has dedicated a lot of time in doing so. My intention is to buy two since my motor is a '60 and the truck is a '54. I would have no problem sharing them with whomever may need them. ...that's enough nattering for now  | | | | | Joined: Mar 2013 Posts: 42 New Guy | | New Guy Joined: Mar 2013 Posts: 42 | Sorry about that Tim.

No need to apologize, firemonkey.
Do not hesitate to ask a question. It would have been nice for you if someone knew of a 1960 Shop Manual on-line.
