I can't seem to find anything on line. Does any one know if there is such a manual and if so where to buy one? | | | | | Joined: Mar 2000 Posts: 784 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Mar 2000 Posts: 784 | No such thing. Assembly manuals were not produced until I think 1947. We who have the older trucks have to do with the service manual and the Stovebolt page.
Sorry to be the bearer of bad news but if you post your questions here Ithink you will get some good answers.

Jeff & Leonard,
A search of the OLD ONLINE CHEVY MANUALS (thank you again, Keith Hardy) confirms that there are no Factory Assembly Manuals for any Chevrolet or GMC trucks and that there are only 4 documents for GMC trucks.

I've never seen one of these manuals so I don't know really what they cover. | | | | | Joined: Feb 2002 Posts: 12,029 Cruising in the Passing Lane | | Cruising in the Passing Lane Joined: Feb 2002 Posts: 12,029 | no similarity Jeff, the assembly manual is a collection of the engineering instructions for fabricating a specific series, from the nuts and bolts to the number of welds, sequence of assembly and dimensional checks - well worth having for the series that have'em available
