I haven’t had a chance to really look around the site but from what you guys are posting it sounds great. GM used to send you the Resto-Pac for nothing then the last few years they started charging. I hadn’t heard that they had been planning this. The Heritage Center has for years been off limits for the public, they must be trying to boost their public image.
Thanks for the link Durwood and welcome aboard.

Thanks, def bookmark.

Ok, had a chance to go take a look see, WOW! I'm printing out the resto-pac for my new '54 as I type and downloading as much as I can before GM starts to show a profit and the bean counters decide to start charging again.
Like I said, I got the resto-pac for my '50 back about five years ago, they sent me one hard copy. But it's nice now to have a pdf file that I can put on all 25 of my computers and have access from any room in the house, barn or while I'm driving.

Excellent site...thanks for posting.

Awesome! It should save some arguing and misinformation on this site.

durwoods59,

Thanks a lot for posting that link. As people posted above, that was/is the most useful information that GM sends with the $50 Restoration Package.

Some observations:

1. In some of the Specifications booklets there are pages missing - sadly, they are the same missing pages as in Keith Hardy's website (not surprising). See 1959, for example.

2. In some of the booklets there is/are Table of Contents and/or an index at the end. However, in some years, the truck table of contents (index?) is in the passenger car booklet for the same year. I'll be printing out the table of contents for each year, to help locate things more quickly.

OK, I'll be the dumb one. I go into this link, show trucks, click on 62 Suburban, and nothing. Is there something else that I am missing, or does it take a really long time to load up?

Thank you

SD, this is the link to your '62 restoration pac: http://www.gmheritagecenter.com/gm-heritage-archive/docs/Chevrolet-Trucks/1962-Chevrolet-Truck.pdf
As you can see, it's a pdf format and it may take a while to download if you have a slow system.

I think that the first Suburban year on the GM site is for 1963?

And that is a poorly scanned 10 pages of 1963 panel-body truck specs.

Go to the pickups for 62 and see if they are there.

That's a good link durwood. I had to steal it.

Thanks for the link.
This is real handy if you happen to be putting together parts from different years or models.
Now I can pick and choose pages from the appropriate year for the engine , tranny, suspension, etc..

Super great site. I bookmarked it and downloaded a few of the PDF files for reference. thanks for sharing.

It's good they got these online. I ordered a 2nd hard copy for my '48 a while back and it looked like they were making copies of copies. The 2nd copy wasn't so hot.

I scanned the drawing of my '48 and Photo Shopped it to look like this.

Future look of my '48.

Bookmarked! Great find... thank you for sharing!
