seeing as gm didn't make a tri-5 truck i'd think it had a limited knowledge
plus technology has changed so much since the 80s i'd think it was outdated

I'm not really concerned with the technology side of it, would just like to own a copy because I remember I enjoyed reading it. I've actually built several Task Force era trucks over the years.

That copy for $65USD

that's a little crazy

Some pages are missing...

BTW, if you think the $65 book was expensive don't look at these prices:

You might be surprised to find that many technically oriented books are in the $50 - $100 range these days. Very frustrating.

I'm not sure that I ever bought that one as I was past my 55/57 Chevy truck want by that time. I wanted a 55/57 big window something terrible in 1974.

I'll look in a box that I have several of those type books in though .I need to sort it out and see what is salvageable and what got ruined over the years anyhow.

That would be terrific mr48chev! I was hoping someone might have a copy sitting in a box or collecting dust somewhere that they might want to pass on to a grateful new caretaker for a reasonable price. Thanks
