Manuals

Does anyone have advice for where to find quality reprint shop manuals for a 66? Looks like there are lots of choices online. Did anyone have a positive experience at a reasonable price?

Re: Manuals

You can find the originals for the same cost if not often cheaper on ebay. For the 66, you will need the 63 book w/the 66 supplement

Re: Manuals

I bought the CD off of Ebay that had all of the manuals on it for my son's truck. Then I copied the '63 and the '65 off of the disk onto my phone. Now I have both manuals with me pretty much at all times. I plan to print out a copy like I did for my GMC, but for right now this seems to be working.

Re: Manuals

I bought mine at Chevy Duty (now Classicparts.com), along with tons of other stuff and never been disappointed with their pricing, service, or products.

If you also want a Factory Assembly Manual, I’ve read it is not recommended to get the disc version. This manual is just a bunch of assembly instructions and schematics designed to assist engineers and production workers when the truck was first built.

There is no index and the contents are in no particular order, which requires searching the book every time you want something. With a paper copy you can put sticky notes in it to find stuff later. It's much more difficult using sticky notes on the CD version!

Re: Manuals

We have been working (not recently) on building an index for the yellow manual.
