    Is there one of these covering the V6 engined versions?
    I know Chevy manuals will cover most things, but I would like to obtain one specific to my vehicle. Wiring diagrams are likely to be very different for example. Does anyone know of a source?

    Thanks for the reply; I saw those advertised, but it mentions "Supplement" on the front with no further info. Is it a GMC supplement to the Chevy manual or what??

    Suppliment means that you need the MAIN GMC Service Manual in addition to the Suppliment. For example; I have a 64 Chevy. I need the 63 Main Manual and the 64 Suppliment.

    I don't know if the GMC manuals run the same. Best advice I can give is to contact the seller on e-bay with a " ask the seller a question" function. They most likely have it.

    FYI. I bought many manuals from the vendor. They are very good.

    I found a couple of suppliers for GMC specific shop manuals: $70 to $100!! I'll buy a few more parts first and then when I am really stuck. maybe....

    "GMC specific shop manuals: $70 to $100"

    So the $24 Buy It Now price on the link I posted is a good deal then?
    The manual ( main & suppliment) should cost you no more than $50 total. That investment pays for itself in the parts that are mangeled because you don't know how to remove them properly.
    Plus there is nothing better than sitting in the garage with a brewsky thumbing through the Service Manual.... That's my idea of kickin back !

    Yes, and thanks for the link. The store that sells those happens to be few miles down the road from me! Talk about coincidence...
    I'll be there first thing Saturday morning; nothing I like more than thumbing through mouthwatering technical diagrams, even though
    usually with me they concern airplanes. (I'm the one building a Chevy powered biplane...)
