Repair Manual

Hi everybody,
My 63' GMC was delivered Monday and today was our maiden voyage. It was was pretty cool but.....found some things that need immediate attention. First is loose front end and lights/wiring.
My question is can I get some recommendations for repair manuals and where is the best place to get them?

Thanks in advance and Happy Holidays!!!!

Re: Repair Manual

There are lots of 1963 Chevrolet truck shop manuals on Ebay. For GMC maybe harder to find for that year.

Re: Repair Manual

Everything I've seen says that the 63 manual for s a supplement to the 62. It covers additions/changes to 62 models. What I can't figure out is wether or not I need both.

Re: Repair Manual

For the googley challenged: https://www.google.com/search?q=chev...manual+reprint

You can buy new reprints, or used.
There are service manuals and overhaul manuals. The latter covers rebuilding bigger parts.

Re: Repair Manual

Is it easier to ask here and wait for 6000 wrong answers, or do web search and sift?
The internet is pretty good at figuring out what you mean. Try asking.

Re: Repair Manual

63 chevy is a manual unto its self 64/5and 6 are all to the 63 book .... but it looks like GMC was 62 plus supplements for what ever reason
