I recently found a guy on Ebay that sells shop manuals and in cd format. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/e...tem=400061821485&_trksid=p2759.l1259

My question is, has anyone ever dealt with him from this group? Just wanted some opinions before I drop $35 on a cd that may or may not work for me.

Thanks everyone.

Why buy the CD? Just go to http://chevy.oldcarmanualproject.com/ when you want a digital image. I bought a CD for my tractor. The problem with that CD was it didn't have chapters. You had to scroll to find anything. By the way, I have the shop manual, build manual, and parts manual for my truck. The shop manual is an original, but the other two are reproductions.

Good information. I clicked on that link and that is a cool site. It had exactly what I was looking for. I will now however, look for a printed version as you suggest. Thanks a bunch for steering me in the right direction.

You can keep checking ebay and you might find originals, or you can get reprints from places like Jim Carter;

One other question, I see a lot of Supplement manuals. What should I be looking at for finding the main shop manual?

So is it safe to say that the Master Shop manual is for a 1955 and just adding the 1956 supplemental manual for the 1956?
