Need suggestions for good source of information before starting rebuild of 56 235 truck motor. I don't have an OEM service manual for a 56, does the manual have adequate instruction, specs and illistations or is there a better resource?

there may be other info sources [like aftermarket manuals], but the shop manual is pretty complete, and is worth having for all the other info too

I'm building a 56 motor for my 46 truck, the 46 manual I have is not great for this type of work. I'm hoping the newer manuals were more informative. Thanks for the reply

Cheesehead - I've got a 57 motor in my 46 and you will need both manuals. Lots of good info in them.
The 56 manual should have everything you need. You might also try to get an older Chilton or Motors manual that will cover that year. You can never have too much information.

Good luck
George
