Also look for any shop, assembly and accessory/owner manuals you can find related to your truck.

Something here should help.

Thanks for the great info !!

Also look for any sales materials... swap meets, online auction places... some of the vendors sell reprints of some of that material.

Also go check out the Gallery section:

gallery section, 1940's trucks

The Vintage Chevrolet Club of America ( VCCA) is all about stock vehicles, contact them to find out if they have information about the old trucks that is available to their members.

p.s. for parts vendors look under links, then parts.

Thanks
